AS400 - Sending an HTTP POST Request

[mdeardorff]

My client has an AS400 iseries server. They need to make an HTTP call to process some data. We do not need the server to be a webserver or anything. It has a private secure connection to our server via A Fra,e Relay connection. So, now they just need to make a simple HTTP call from their AS400 server. We need some direction on how to enable our AS400 server to do this. We were told CGI scripts perhaps. Is there a 3rd party package that makes this simple to do that you now of and works well? We need to know what software to use, and get some sample code of how to do it. I have called IMB and about 20 other people. No help so far.

Welcome Mike

There are a couple of options available for that....


First I would check Scotts site

Also to set up the HTTP Apache server is semi-simple with the CGIDEV2 tool kit from IBM (italy)

Try here

and its all free

Take care
