Re: Reg: Web Service in IBMi

Yes Scott. I am using IWS. This is limitation in IWS it seems. I will send
the httpsstatus code in output string by setting the httpStatus code as
always 200 and also will request the client the ignore the httpstatus code
and instead use the code in the response string.

The RFCs have always allowed you to return a payload with non-2xx status

If you write your own web service with Apache, et al, you can do this as
well.

It sounds like Suren is having this problem with IWS, so I was hoping to
see a response from Nadir about it. Good chance that this is a
limitation in IWS, but he's the expert.

I have seen payloads returned with 4xx 5xx codes before though. Not sure
what the RFC is on that offhand. But if IBM is returning no payload, I
would venture to guess that is the correct method as most other protocols
IBM is VERY adherent to the RFCs... almost to a fault sometimes. :)
