The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Jose,
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.
These may be an interesting way to initiate calls from the IBM i to a web
service provided by somebody else. Particularly if I did not already know
how to do that from RPG using Scott's HTTPAPI or Brad's GETURI or Bob's
iSockets library.
However, in this case I need the IBM i to listen for requests from other
systems (I am hosting the web service). And I just don't see how the SQL
functions will be of any benefit in this scenario. Following Scott's great
presentation and examples, it was simple enough to code the web service and
get it to work using http. (I've also used CGIDEV2 many times, but for
this project wanted to use Scott's techniques.)
The problem I ran into was wanting this particular service to encrypt the
traffic thus want the other side (who initiates the calls to my web
service) to connect via https instead of http. Perhaps it was more
confusing because I had mentioned I'll be writing the client side as well.
But that will be running on mobile devices, to exchange proprietary data
between the IBM i and remote staff. The nature of the data is such that I
would prefer secured connections.
