I added configurable EBCDIC configuration functionality to http_core.c;
because conversion is a base feature, this looked like the only sensible place to me. Other basic features like Resource limits live there too. * make EBCDIC conversion truly configurable. Up to know, there was a hardwired assumption that only files of MIME type text/* (and a few exceptions) could be EBCDIC files; and everything else HAD TO BE binary. This assumption breaks (again and again) for MIME types like application/postscript, model/vrml, application/x-javascript and others, which can never be stored as EBCDIC text files. I now implemented two new directives for defining the conversion based on MIME type or file extension. The conversion can be set for upload and download independently, on or off, for any file. * make EBCDIC conversion symmetric. Up to now, there was no clean way to deal with uploaded content (POST with Content-Type:, PUT with Content-Type:) because a) there was no MIME checker attached to the header-reader, and b) you could not actually define a conversion based on MIME type. Both deficiencies have now been addressed (the ap_checkconv_in() routine is called upon parsing of an uploaded Content-Type: line, and it can set a flag which is different from the download conversion flag. Also, its change is triggered at a different phase in the request handling: the upload conversion is set as soon as a Content-Type: for an uploaded document is detected, but the download conversion is only set when the response is about to be returned). All this was impossible in the past. * unify the EBCDIC tables to be in a single common file src/ap/ap_ebcdic.c (and src/include/ap_ebcdic.h) instead of having redundant copies under src/os/{tpf,bs2000,os390}/ebcdic.{c,h} The common file will have the correct translation table conditionally compiled based on #ifdef TPF/OS390/_OSD_POSIX. Up to now, each EBCDIC had its own copy, cloned and slightly adapted. * Also, put the conversion checker ap_checkconv() to http_core, because is is an essential central cog in the whole conversion clockwork. Until now, three almost incompatible copies were spread throughout the EBCDIC platforms' os.c files.
