Re: Doing a HTTP Post from rpg program

Brad,

What I meant was that I can see the use of a program, like a web crawler,
making GET requests to retrieve static pages.  But when you make POST
requests, or GET requests with parameters, you are effectively communicating
with a program on the server, aren't you?  That implies that you have to
know which parameters that program is expecting; or in other words, you have
define an interface between the two programs.  And that is what made me
think of APPC (I always wondered how anyone could call something like that
'advanced').
