Justin, I'm pleased that HTTPAPI worked. However, it seems counter
intuitive that it would perform better than a reverse proxy. I don't get
that part. Wouldn't the reverse proxy simply forward the request to the
web-service, then funnel back the response?

Works like a champ! The service run on my IBMi, so I also tried a reverse
proxy via Apache. That worked, but I wasn't happy with the idea of having
to create an Apache directive for every service. I was pleasantly
surprised that using HTTPAPI in my CGI app was faster (per Chrome Developer
Tools) than the reverse proxy.

Thanks again
