Hi Bill, You may want to take a look at new integrated web services client
support[1] to consume REST services. It is really simple and there is an
RPG coding example.

Subject: Invoking a remote webservice using JSON
Sent by: "MIDRANGE-L" <midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
I need to have an RPG program invoke a remote web service and that web
service uses JSON for its request and response. This requires a post
request, and I need to set the Accept: application/json and Content-Type:
application/json header attributesin the header, then send the json in the
body. I have used YAJL to construct the JSON correctly. My problem is that
all examples I can find show how to “BE” the web service, not how to
“CONSUME” a web service with JSON. I have previously invoke remote
RESTful web services that use XML via Scot Klement’s LIBHTTP utilites. The
JSON piece and header/body have me spinning in circles. Does anybody have
an samples they know of that show how to consume a web service that uses
JSON for the request and response?
