RE: wget from System i

I got wget downloaded and installed. (Boy, did that feel weird for some reason.)

Based on the infocenter, I wrote a CL like this:

PGM

DCL VAR(&CMD) +
TYPE(*CHAR) +
LEN(100) +
VALUE('/QOpenSys/bin/ls')
DCL VAR(&PARM1) +
TYPE(*CHAR) +
LEN(100) +
VALUE('/')

DCL VAR(&NULL) +
TYPE(*CHAR) +
LEN(1) +
VALUE(X'00')

CHGVAR VAR(&CMD) +
VALUE(&CMD *TCAT &NULL)
CHGVAR VAR(&PARM1) +
VALUE(&PARM1 *TCAT &NULL)

CALL PGM(QP2SHELL) +
PARM(&CMD &PARM1)

ENDPGM

which worked. (Though I have to hit F3 to go on.) I suppose my next step is to wait until the contractor tells me the URL to run wget against.

The archives seem to suggest either geturi or httpapi can function as a
wget. Sound reasonable? I'm still having brainlock on how a utility
designed to copy webpages functions as a trigger, but as I said that's
probably just me.

wget http://www.example.com/myfile.php?upload=done

This sends a HTTP request, which will in turn execute a PHP script
with parameter upload set to done. This can then be used to execute
code that processes your upload.

geturi or httpapi should help you do the same. wget would just be a
simple way to achieve this in a Unix shell script.
