==== oecgi2 trailing character (OpenInsight 32-Bit) ====

Greetings!



I converted my app to use oecgi2.  Work great.

Except had one failure.

I have determined that oecgi2 appends a non-printing character to the end of the returned string.

I do not know what this character is yet.  Using Javascript, I can count the length of the string, and look at each character in the string according to its position and all is as expected except there is one non-printing character at the end.  This was discovered, because this is a return from an 'AJAX' call and the returned string is concatenated to form a url.  Using the created url breaks my program. to prove, I added a character to the end of the returned string, then using charAT() looked at each character, and there is a non-printing character between the visible end of the string and my single concatenated character.

This does not seem right to me.  (oecgi does not do this)

<QUOTE>And the trailing character is...drum roll...  ASCII 0 as determined by



alert(xmldatapath.charCodeAt(xmldatapath.length-1)); 



maybe oecgi2 could be modified to not return this trailing character, so I don't have to?

Hi Paxton,



I have seen that problem. It seems to occur when you retrun non-html content. There is a workaround.  If you are not returning html, add Content-Type and Content-Len headers, something like:



xml=....'



response =Content-Type: text/xml'     : crlf$

response := 'Content-Length: ': len(xml) : crlf$

response := crlf$

response := xml

return response

<QUOTE>Hi, Bob

Thanks for the response and work around.  In working with  php, returning HTML,I think I see the same thing, so suspecting it is coming from OEngineServer.  You can probably easily verify that.



I have many many requests/replies, all mixed as to html or not.

I may be able to put some code in my inet_dce to trap the 'non-html' replies and add the work around.



Really appreciate your attention!



Have fun,

Paxton
