RE: Re: Providing web services using HTTPS

I think you are confusing which way the data is flowing as determining
whether something is a client or a server. The HTTP functions in DB2 are
definitely clients. Sending data via a post doesn't not make it a
client. Client and server is about who initiates the request, and who
listens for the request. Both GET and POST have mechanisms to send data
to a server, either through parameter values or post variables, but they
both initiate the request, making them clients.

Keving and Douglas SQL web services functions are not client, there is

not

any reason to call it web services function if they were client, on

the other

hand FYI sql HTTP functions can retrieve information that you can

consume

and can send information that your client can consume (HTTPGET/
HTTPPOST), I have made programs using this that third party java

programs

use without any rest or soap configuration. this few links can give

you more

detail about those functions and how to use it, the second link maybe
important for you it tells you how to send data using HTTPPOST, hope

this

help.
