Is there a way to Launch a website using Post?

It sounds like you're asking for the ability to push a web page
from the iSeries to create a browser session. That is not the way a
browser session works -- and you can't violate that process. The browser
is the client and the iSeries is the server. The server has to wait for a
client to make a request. Such a request is normally a GET (when it is
URL-based) but can also be a POST (when it is HTML form-based).

Having said that... You can certainly invoke a browser session
from the iSeries (STRPCCMD) to load a web site in the browser but such a
request has to be a GET type of request. So, if you want a POST, then you
have have a web page already in the browser from which the user can click
a button to submit a "form" which does a POST. The "form" can either be
made up of a single button or it can have one or more fields for the user
to fill in before submitting (POSTing) the form to the iSeries.

Further questions?
