It doesn't matter if the RPG program is the final consumer or (transforms
and) passes the response to it's caller...

Call the other web-service using whatever make it easiest...

HTTPAPI if you're familiar with it...

On of the IBM provided tools for calling a webservice...

I have an existing RPGLE/CGI app where the client needs to call a separate
webservice. For security reasons, the client can't call the webservice
directly. So I want my RPGLE code to act as the go-between. What's the
most efficient way for RPGLE/CGI to call a webservice and return the
response verbatim to its client? I've used HTTPAPI in cases where RPGLE is
the final consumer, but I'm not sure if there's a better way in this
situation.

TIA
