Siblings of #4941: WEB SEND server options still refused (CHUNKING, CONTAINER/CHANNEL, code pages, CLOSESTATUS) #5037
Description
Siblings of #4941 (class: WEB server-side commands, #4767). Found in the review of PR #5036, which models WEB SEND ACTION(EVENTUAL) / DOCSTATUS and WEB RETRIEVE NORMAL.
These WEB SEND (server) options are still refused by name in gitgalaxy/standards/cics/commands/web.py (register X37). IBM documents each of them on the WEB SEND (server) page (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cics-ts/6.x?topic=summary-web-send-server). No burned-estate program uses them today, so this is low priority.
- WEB SEND CHUNKING(CHUNKYES / CHUNKEND): chunked transfer-coding. IBM's default ACTION for a chunked send is IMMEDIATE.
- WEB SEND CONTAINER / CHANNEL: a response body taken from a channel container.
- WEB SEND CHARACTERSET / CLNTCODEPAGE / HOSTCODEPAGE: code-page conversion of the response.
- WEB SEND CLOSESTATUS(CLOSE / NOCLOSE): closing the connection after the response.
- WEB RECEIVE SET: tracked in det/CICS: zECS file-name templates (READ GTEQ / DELETE GENERIC), GETMAIN/FREEMAIN pointers, CALL ZUIDSTCK #4771 (pointer lane).
Model each per IBM, or keep the refusal and name the reason in X37. Duplicate search: no open issue covers these options.

Review of PR #5124 (tick 2026-10-14): CONTAINER / CHANNEL modelled; CHUNKING, CHARACTERSET / CLNTCODEPAGE / HOSTCODEPAGE and CLOSESTATUS keep their refusal with the IBM-sourced reason now named in X37 (this issue's "or keep the refusal and name the reason" path). New member found in the sweep, added here rather than filed: a DATATYPE BIT container sent without conversion (refused: needs a non-text body comparison). DFHTRANSACTION as CHANNEL stays under X17; client-side WEB SEND is X35 (different mechanism).
CICS: WEB SEND CONTAINER / CHANNEL; named IBM refusals for the rest (…

PR #5124 models WEB SEND CONTAINER/CHANNEL per IBM and keeps CHUNKING, CHARACTERSET/CLNTCODEPAGE/HOSTCODEPAGE and CLOSESTATUS refused by name with IBM-sourced reasons in register X37. The issue allowed either route, so the acceptance is met.
