This is true: libcurl internally only works on ASCII-based character sets.
However the OS400 platform interface still implements EBCDIC wrappers to
the API that are completely independent of the late CURL_DOES_CONVERSION
code.
This approach is less-error prone for libcurl's code as it concentrates
code conversion efforts to a single place. In addition, it offers (on
the OS400) at runtime the choice among using several EBCDIC variants and
to mix them.
