Format of header informations with QSYS.HTTP_*_VERBOSE functions

The RFE would be to add an option to the HTTP functions so that the verbose function would only return the header information as quoted JSON strings.


Use Case:

currently, it is impossible to differentiate between the following headers :
ETag: 123456
ETag: "123456"

They both prodces the same JSON key/value pairs :
"ETag": "123456".

With the new options, it could produce :
"ETag": "123456"
"ETag": "\"123456\""

    IBM believes that the request described has been solved and is available with IBM i 7.5, and with DB PTF Groups IBM i 7.4 SF99704 Level 20 and IBM i 7.3 SF99703 Level 28.

    A new header option, verboseResponseHeaderFormat, has been added to allow you to specify how the information in the RESPONSE_HTTP_HEADER column of the HTTP_xxx_VERBOSE functions is to be returned. Options include JSON and unformatted text.

    IBM will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied. This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it.
