Implementation notes:

  This is a true OS/400 ILE implementation, not a PASE implementation (for
PASE, use AIX implementation).

  The biggest problem with OS/400 is EBCDIC. Libcurl implements an internal
conversion mechanism, but it has been designed for computers that have a
single native character set. OS/400 default native character set varies
depending on the country for which it has been localized. And more, a job
may dynamically alter its "native" character set.
  Several characters that do not have fixed code in EBCDIC variants are
used in libcurl strings. As a consequence, using the existing conversion
mechanism would have lead in a localized binary library - not portable across
countries.
  For this reason, and because libcurl was originally designed for ASCII based
operating systems, the current OS/400 implementation uses ASCII as internal
character set. This has been accomplished using the QADRT library and
include files, a C and system procedures ASCII wrapper library. See IBM QADRT
description for more information.
  This then results in libcurl being an ASCII library: any function string
argument is taken/returned in ASCII and a C/C++ calling program built around
QADRT may use libcurl functions as on any other platform.
  QADRT does not define ASCII wrappers for all C/system procedures: the
OS/400 configuration header file and an additional module (os400sys.c) define
some more of them, that are used by libcurl and that QADRT left out.
  To support all the different variants of EBCDIC, non-standard wrapper
procedures have been added to libcurl on OS/400: they provide an additional
CCSID (numeric Coded Character Set ID specific to OS/400) parameter for each
string argument. Callback procedures arguments giving access to strings are
NOT converted, so text gathered this way is (probably !) ASCII.

  Another OS/400 problem comes from the fact that the last fixed argument of a
vararg procedure may not be of type char, unsigned char, short or unsigned
short. Enums that are internally implemented by the C compiler as one of these
types are also forbidden. Libcurl uses enums as vararg procedure tagfields...
Happily, there is a pragma forcing enums to type "int". The original libcurl
header files are thus altered during build process to use this pragma, in
order to force libcurl enums of being type int (the pragma disposition in use
before inclusion is restored before resuming the including unit compilation).

  Non-standard EBCDIC wrapper prototypes are defined in an additional header
file: ccsidcurl.h. These should be self-explanatory to an OS/400-aware
designer. CCSID 0 can be used to select the current job's CCSID.
  Wrapper procedures with variable arguments are described below:

_ curl_easy_setopt_ccsid()
  Variable arguments are a string pointer and a CCSID (unsigned int) for

        CURLOPT_PROXY_TLSAUTH_PASSWORD
        CURLOPT_PROXY_TLSAUTH_TYPE
        CURLOPT_PROXY_TLSAUTH_USERNAME
        CURLOPT_RANDOM_FILE
        CURLOPT_RANGE
        CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS_STR

        CURLOPT_USERAGENT
        CURLOPT_USERNAME
        CURLOPT_USERPWD
        CURLOPT_XOAUTH2_BEARER
  All blob options are also supported.
  In all other cases, it ignores the ccsid parameter and behaves as
curl_easy_setopt().
  Note that CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER is not in the list above, since it gives the
address of an (empty) character buffer, not the address of a string.
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS stores the address of static binary data (of type void *)
and thus is not converted. If CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS is issued after
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE != -1, the data size is adjusted according to the
CCSID conversion result length.

_ curl_formadd_ccsid()
  In the variable argument list, string pointers should be followed by a (long)
CCSID for the following options:
        CURLFORM_BUFFER
        CURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE
        CURLFORM_COPYCONTENTS
        CURLFORM_COPYNAME
        CURLFORM_FILE
        CURLFORM_FILECONTENT
        CURLFORM_FILENAME
        CURLFORM_PTRNAME
  If taken from an argument array, an additional array entry must follow each
entry containing one of the above option. This additional entry holds the CCSID
in its value field, and the option field is meaningless.
  It is not possible to have a string pointer and its CCSID across a function
parameter/array boundary.
  Please note that CURLFORM_PTRCONTENTS and CURLFORM_BUFFERPTR are considered
unconvertible strings and thus are NOT followed by a CCSID.

_ curl_easy_getinfo_ccsid()
  The following options are followed by a 'char * *' and a CCSID. Unlike
curl_easy_getinfo(), the value returned in the pointer should be released with
curl_free() after use:
        CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE
        CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL
        CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH
        CURLINFO_LOCAL_IP
        CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP
        CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL
        CURLINFO_REFERER
        CURLINFO_RTSP_SESSION_ID
        CURLINFO_SCHEME
  Likewise, the following options are followed by a struct curl_slist * * and a
CCSID.
        CURLINFO_COOKIELIST
        CURLINFO_SSL_ENGINES
Lists returned should be released with curl_slist_free_all() after use.
  Option CURLINFO_CERTINFO is followed by a struct curl_certinfo * * and a
CCSID. Returned structures should be freed with curl_certinfo_free_all()
after use.
  Other options are processed like in curl_easy_getinfo().

_ curl_easy_strerror_ccsid(), curl_multi_strerror_ccsid(),
curl_share_strerror_ccsid() and curl_url_strerror_ccsid() work as their
non-ccsid version and return a string encoded in the additional ccsid
parameter. These strings belong to libcurl and may not be freed by the caller.
A subsequent call to the same procedure in the same thread invalidates the
previous result.

_ curl_pushheader_bynum_cssid() and curl_pushheader_byname_ccsid()
  Although the prototypes are self-explanatory, the returned string pointer
should be released with curl_free() after use, as opposite to the non-ccsid
versions of these procedures.
  Please note that HTTP2 is not (yet) implemented on OS/400, thus these
functions will always return NULL.

_ curl_easy_option_by_name_ccsid() returns a pointer to an untranslated option
metadata structure. As each curl_easyoption structure holds the option name in
ASCII, the curl_easy_option_get_name_ccsid() function allows getting it in any
supported ccsid. However the caller should release the returned pointer with
curl_free() after use.

_ curl_easy_header_ccsid() works as its non-CCSID counterpart but requires an
additional ccsid parameter specifying the name parameter encoding. The output
hout parameter is kept in libcurl's encoding and should not be altered.

_ curl_from_ccsid() and curl_to_ccsid() are string encoding conversion
functions between ASCII (latin1) and the given CCSID. The first parameter is
the source string, the second is the CCSID and the returned value is a pointer
to the dynamically allocated string. These functions do not impact on Curl's
behavior and are only provided for user convenience. After use, returned values
must be released with curl_free().


  Standard compilation environment does support neither autotools nor make;
in fact, very few common utilities are available. As a consequence, the
config-os400.h has been coded manually and the compilation scripts are
a set of shell scripts stored in subdirectory packages/OS400.

  The "curl" command and the test environment are currently not supported on
OS/400.

Compiling on OS/400:

  These instructions targets people who knows about OS/400, compiling, IFS and
archive extraction. Do not ask questions about these subjects if you're not
familiar with.

_ As a prerequisite, QADRT development environment must be installed.
  For more information on downloading and installing the QADRT development kit,
  please see https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6258183
_ If data compression has to be supported, ZLIB development environment must
  be installed.
_ Likewise, if SCP and SFTP protocols have to be compiled in, LIBSSH2
  developent environment must be installed.
_ Install the curl source directory in IFS. Do NOT install it in the
  installation target directory (which defaults to /curl).
_ Enter Qshell (QSH, not PASE)
_ Change current directory to the curl installation directory
_ Change current directory to ./packages/OS400
- If you want to change the default configuration parameters like debug info
  generation, optimization level, listing option, target library, ZLIB/LIBSSH2
  availability and location, etc., copy file config400.default to
  config400.override and edit the latter. Do not edit the original default file
  as it might be overwritten by a subsequent source installation.
_ Copy any file in the current directory to makelog (i.e.:
  cp initscript.sh makelog): this is intended to create the makelog file with
  an ASCII CCSID!
_ Enter the command "sh makefile.sh > makelog 2>&1"
_ Examine the makelog file to check for compilation errors. CZM0383 warnings on
  C or system standard API come from QADRT inlining and can safely be ignored.

  Without configuration parameters override, this will produce the following
OS/400 objects:
_ Library CURL. All other objects will be stored in this library.
_ Modules for all libcurl units.
_ Binding directory CURL_A, to be used at calling program link time for
  statically binding the modules (specify BNDSRVPGM(QADRTTS QGLDCLNT QGLDBRDR)
  when creating a program using CURL_A).
_ Service program CURL.<soname>, where <soname> is extracted from the
  lib/Makefile.am VERSION variable. To be used at calling program run-time
  when this program has dynamically bound curl at link time.
_ Binding directory CURL. To be used to dynamically bind libcurl when linking a
  calling program.
- CLI tool bound program CURL.
- CLI command CURL.
_ Source file H. It contains all the include members needed to compile a C/C++
  module using libcurl, and an ILE/RPG /copy member for support in this
  language.
_ Standard C/C++ libcurl include members in file H.
_ CCSIDCURL member in file H. This defines the non-standard EBCDIC wrappers for
  C and C++.
_ CURL.INC member in file H. This defines everything needed by an ILE/RPG
  program using libcurl.
_ IFS directory /curl/include/curl containing the C header files for IFS source
  C/C++ compilation and curl.inc.rpgle for IFS source ILE/RPG compilation.
- IFS link /curl/bin/curl to CLI tool program.


Special programming consideration:

QADRT being used, the following points must be considered:
_ If static binding is used, service program QADRTTS must be linked too.
_ The EBCDIC CCSID used by QADRT is 37 by default, NOT THE JOB'S CCSID. If
  another EBCDIC CCSID is required, it must be set via a locale through a call
  to setlocale_a (QADRT's setlocale() ASCII wrapper) with category LC_ALL or
  LC_CTYPE, or by setting environment variable QADRT_ENV_LOCALE to the locale
  object path before executing the program.
_ Do not use original source include files unless you know what you are doing.
  Use the installed members instead (in /QSYS.LIB/CURL.LIB/H.FILE and
  /curl/include/curl).



ILE/RPG support:

  Since most of the ILE OS/400 programmers use ILE/RPG exclusively, a
definition /INCLUDE member is provided for this language. To include all
libcurl definitions in an ILE/RPG module, line

     h bnddir('CURL/CURL')

must figure in the program header, and line

     d/include curl/h,curl.inc

in the global data section of the module's source code.

  No vararg procedure support exists in ILE/RPG: for this reason, the following
considerations apply:
_ Procedures curl_easy_setopt_long(), curl_easy_setopt_object(),
  curl_easy_setopt_function(), curl_easy_setopt_offset() and
  curl_easy_setopt_blob() are all alias prototypes to curl_easy_setopt(), but
  with different parameter lists.
_ Procedures curl_easy_getinfo_string(), curl_easy_getinfo_long(),
  curl_easy_getinfo_double(), curl_easy_getinfo_slist(),
  curl_easy_getinfo_ptr(), curl_easy_getinfo_socket() and
  curl_easy_getinfo_off_t() are all alias prototypes to curl_easy_getinfo(),
  but with different parameter lists.
_ Procedures curl_multi_setopt_long(), curl_multi_setopt_object(),
  curl_multi_setopt_function() and curl_multi_setopt_offset() are all alias
  prototypes to curl_multi_setopt(), but with different parameter lists.
_ Procedures curl_share_setopt_int(), curl_share_setopt_ptr() and
  curl_share_setopt_proc() are all alias prototypes to curl_share_setopt,
  but with different parameter lists.
_ Procedure curl_easy_setopt_blob_ccsid() is an alias of
  curl_easy_setopt_ccsid() supporting blob encoding conversion.
_ The prototype of procedure curl_formadd() allows specifying a pointer option
  and the CURLFORM_END option. This makes possible to use an option array
  without any additional definition. If some specific incompatible argument
  list is used in the ILE/RPG program, the latter must define a specialised
  alias. The same applies to curl_formadd_ccsid() too.
_ Since V7R4M0, procedure overloading is used to emulate limited "vararg-like"
  definitions of curl_easy_setopt(), curl_multi_setopt(), curl_share_setopt()
  and curl_easy_getinfo(). Blob and CCSID alternatives are NOT included in
  overloading.

  Since RPG cannot cast a long to a pointer, procedure curl_form_long_value()
is provided for that purpose: this allows storing a long value in the
curl_forms array. Please note the form API is deprecated and the MIME API
should be used instead.


CLI tool:

  The build system provides it as a bound program, an IFS link to it and a
simple CL command. The latter however is not able to provide a different
parameter for each option since there are too many of those; instead,
parameters are entered in a single field subject to quoting and escaping, in
the same form as expected by the standard CLI program.
  Care must be taken about the program output encoding: by default, it is sent
to the standard output and is thus subject to transcoding. It is therefore
recommended to use option "--output" to redirect output to a specific IFS file.
Similar problems may occur about the standard input encoding.
