Re: Outgoing HTTP--Can it be done???

Thanks to everybody for the replies.  I've downloaded Scott's API and have
started the setup.  It says that SSL support requires the IBM Global Secure
Toolkit which in turn requires:
Digital Certificate Manager
IBM HTTP server for AS/400
IBM Cryptographic Access Provider
IBM Client Encryption

I've got the Digital Certificate Manager and HTTP server installed on my
system.  What are the IBM Global Secure Toolkit, IBM Cryptographic Access
Provider, and IBM Client Encryption?  If I do a GO LICPGM and select option
11 which looks to be the what I need for one of them.  Are the others part
of other options, something to get via PTF, or should I be looking
somewhere else?

I don't know the fdx utility, but I know you can do this with the HTTP
API. You can get more information at
