RE: Net.dat & Websphere

IBM HTTP server is part of websphere.  they just like to make new names for
it every month.

Net.Data works, but I wouldn't use it 100%.  If you're an RPG programmer,
you'll find CGI programming with RPG easier and you'll have more control,
and less set up.  (ie no INIT files like Net.Data).  Also, performance is
better with straight CGI as compared to Net.Data.

Play with both, and then use both if you choose.  But if I had to choose one
over the other, I would choose RPG.  If you're not an RPG programmer, then
maybe you would choose differently.

I do everything with RPG.  :)
