AS/400 as an http client

["Denis Robitaille" <DRobitaille@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I know that the AS/400 can serve web pages but can an AS/400 program request a 
page from another server?

We need this capability for the folowing reason:

Each nignt, our AS/400 send a files to an NT server via FTP. After receiving 
the file, the NT server must start a process that will incorporate the file's 
data into an intranet application. The way to start the processing in the NT 
server is to request a web page that as a CGI program linked to it. 

We can not put a program on the NT server that would monitor activity on the 
transfered file.

I hope my explanation is clear enought

Thank you in advance
