Let me get this straight, your client wants to migrate from HTTP server on the iSeries to IIS for security reasons?! Methinks there must be a better way to handle this....

As usual, I need to explain more.. I am not 100% sure on CGI and how it is invoked. I think I have an idea, but am looking here for help. A client of mine does not want the HTTP server on the iSeries to be exposed to the web. So, by closing it down, the outside world cannot invoke the RPG CGI programs. Since an IIS server is available, we can expose that to the web, and then the iSeries is protected. Now, the trick is, how do we get the RPG CGI programs invoked from the iSeries. I think it will require some translation tool that will read the request, re-direct it to the iSeries HTTP server, and then receive and re-direct the response. Another idea is to use a translation page to direct call the iSeries RPG program.. I am looking for alternatives.
