Re: Post XML to a website

They're telling you how to do it with a web browser.  AFIAK, there is
no web browser that runs on the iSeries.

If you grab a copy of my HTTPAPI from http://www.scottklement.com/httpapi/
you should be able to do what you want to do.

Included in the QRPGLESRC file is several examples.  EXAMPLE4 and EXAMPLE5
show posting XML source to a web site.  They aren't EXACTLY what you're
doing, but they're pretty close.   You'll have to change them to be http:
instead of https://, but that's a minor change...  you may also have to
stuff your XML file into a varPayload variable, but that's not too
difficult, either.

If that's not enough to get you started, contact me off-list...  or maybe
on the FTPAPI list from my web server. (which is where HTTPAPI is to be
discussed)
