RE: wget from System i

Thanks Scott. I downloaded and installed you HTTPAPI, but haven't looked at
anything whatsoever in it yet.

If it's as good as your FTPAPI, I'll be a happy camper.

Jeff,

It performs the function of a "trigger" in the sense that you can call a
program via HTTP. So you'd do your FTP upload, then when you're done,
you'd use WGET, HTTPAPI, GETURI, or another similar tool to run a
program on the web server -- presumably this program would begin the
process of loading those files that you just FTPed.

wget will run in PASE -- if you have adequate Unix knowledge, you should
be able to get it to work.

HTTPAPI or GETURI are native RPG/CL applications and might be more
intuitive to someone who is familiar with IBM i, but not with Unix.

A contractor is doing a website product search for us (not live yet). I

creating the search files on the System I and FTPing them to our godaddy
website. I have this working.

The contractor says he needs a trigger of some sort to indicate the file
uploads are complete. He suggested wget. I'd never heard of wget and

I read about it sure didn't sound like a 'trigger' but that's probably

just

me. :)

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.

Thanks.
