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.
I have a web service implemented using CGIDEV2. It uses basic authentication in Apache via a validation list. The web service receives two file uploads, as parameters, per call. It passes the IFS paths to those files to a *SRVPGM and returns the response to the caller.
This works fine most of the time. About once a day, CGIDEV2 crashes processing the file uploads. This permanently corrupts the IBMi job, and all subsequent calls to that job fail (even different programs/ activation groups). If the client retries, the call works (provided it gets a different IBMi job).
I'm working on a solution. Unlike text parameters, file uploads in CGI aren't trivial for DIY. I'm leaning towards replacing the RPG service with something else (e.g. Node, PHP, Python), although I'm reluctant to add a new language to our environment. I don't see a clear choice for which language to try. Also, the basic authentication is a big question mark.
We can probably change the URL the client calls, but that's probably about it. The budget is my time.
I welcome and appreciate any input you have to offer.
TIA
