Re: Looking for example/instructions on sending data from web to a data queue

Odd...this *seems* to have never made it to the list.  Wonder if GoDaddy 
is hammering mailing lists now.....

You might as well jump forward and make the solution mobile ready, so
I'd recommend that you wrap your head around some Web 2.0 stuff: Ajax,
Javascript, and JSON. Sending small amounts of data using AJAX is *just*
what you want to do in a mobile app to limit bandwidth utilization.
You'll find it pretty trivial to create a web page that can easily be
viewed on a traditional PC browser and a mobile browser and can
send/receive data to/from the i.  I just presented a full day workshop
on doing just that with either PHP, CGIDEV2 or Java on the i.  If you
can create and parse a string in RPG you can use AJAX to send and
receive JSON on the i.
