RE: AS/400 as an http client

Dennis,

What version of OS/400? If you are on V4R3 or later you could write a short
Java program that acts as a web agent. The program is rather simple, I just
don't have the code with me. Let me know if you need me to post it.

Subject: AS/400 as an http client


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
