  • 1.  HOW TO decode CDATA block from Carte's API reply?

    Posted 11-16-2022 03:41

    Hi,

    I am requesting data to Carte's API and I cannot decode the /jobstatus/logging_string XPATH

    It looks like this:
    xmllint.exe popo.xml -xpath /jobstatus/logging_string |head


    <logging_string>&lt;![CDATA[H4sIAAAAAAAAAOy9a5PbNtY1+v38Cn44H5KqoZv3i6s8VXa32u48fZtWO868qSkVRVKOMmpJj6RO

    </result>
    </jobstatus>


    Any idea which decoding tool should I be using?
    I have tried base64 but I don't know if I am missing something.


    Thanks for your time

    Best regards

    Hi Juan,
    it is gzip stream encoded by base64. So decode via base64 and deflate via gzip. First 10 bytes of decoded stream is 1f8b0800000000000000.
