RE: Providing web services using HTTPS

I'm not sure that I understand, how does the http clob functions allow
you to provide a web service. I haven't actually used them yet, but they
look to be clients to me, not servers.

Sql has a lot easier way to access resources on the web, its

functions are

powerful enough to access and consume data from many sources. for
example httpGetClob retrieve resources from a given URL using the get
method and httpPutClob Create textual resources in a given URL using

the

put method, your don't even need to create REST or SOAP services on

the

web.

You have to config the server side to serve it as HTTPS. It's more
than just changing the URL. In the IBM Web Administrator for i
screens, Find the HTTP server that is serving your web service. You
can either select it from the HTTP Servers tab, or if you go to your
server in the Application Servers tab, there is a link on the left
that will take you to your http server. Click on the Security link

on

the left hand side once you are in your http server config page,
enable SSL, and fill out all the required fields. The SSL advanced

tab

lets your control the TLS versions and ciphers that you will accept.

Subject: Providing web services using HTTPS

I am setting up a web service following the methods described by
Scott Klement in his presentation at:

http://www.scottklement.com/presentations/Providing%20RPG%20Web%2

0Services%20on%20IBM%20i.pdf

I can get everything to work when using http:// but I'd like the

traffic to

happen of TLS 1.x instead of plain text. The web service runs on
its

own port,

not 80 or 443. This works:

http://myserver.com:xxxx/yada/yada/yada

This does not work:

https://myserver.com:xxxx/yada/yada/yada

Nothing in the server instance httpd.conf seems to be related,

other

than

the listen port of xxxx.

I also can't find discussion of this in the XMLHttpRequest docs

at:

https://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/

I can control both the client and server side, so one option would
be

for me

to do my own encrypt / decrypt (and EBDIC conversion) and pass
binary

data

instead of trying to piggy back off https support.

But is there a way to have the web service traffic just take
advantage

of the

HTTPS support?
