/*
   This is a simple example showing how a program on a non-ASCII platform
   would invoke callbacks to do its own codeset conversions instead of
   using the built-in iconv functions in libcurl.
 
   The IBM-1047 EBCDIC codeset is used for this example but the code
   would be similar for other non-ASCII codesets.
 
   Three callback functions are created below:
        my_conv_from_ascii_to_ebcdic,
        my_conv_from_ebcdic_to_ascii, and
        my_conv_from_utf8_to_ebcdic
 
   The "platform_xxx" calls represent platform-specific conversion routines.
