You can also use http_req(). It allows you to specify the type of request (i.e. POST) and independently select whether your payload and response is a variable or streamfile.
rc = http_req('POST'
: URL
: '/myifsFile'
: *omit
: *omit
: jsonBodyRPGvariable
: 'application/json');
Here is the prototype descriptions from RDI:
http_req( Type VARCHAR(10: 2) CONST:
URL VARCHAR(32767: 2) CONST:
ResultStmf VARCHAR(5000: 2) CONST OPTIONS(*OMIT: *VARSIZE):
ResultStr VARCHAR(16000000: 4) OPTIONS(*NOPASS: *OMIT: *VARSIZE):
SendStmf VARCHAR(5000: 2) CONST OPTIONS(*NOPASS: *OMIT: *VARSIZE):
SendStr VARCHAR(16000000: 4) CONST OPTIONS(*NOPASS: *OMIT: *VARSIZE):
ContentType VARCHAR(16384: 2) CONST OPTIONS(*NOPASS: *OMIT: *VARSIZE)
) http_req : INT(10) EXTPROC ( 'HTTP_REQ' )

Subject: http_post
I have a json doc (jsonRequest) on the ifs but am having trouble sending it with the http_post.
I am unsure what to put into parameters 2 and 3.
The examples I am finding online use a variable from the pgm.
rc = http_post( URL
: %addr( WhatdDoIPutHere : *data )
: %len( WhatdDoIPutHere )
: 'IFS/jsonRequest.json'
: HTTP_TIMEOUT
: HTTP_USERAGENT
: 'application/json' );
