RE: HTTP API without HTTP Server

I have done some minor testing. . .

I tried Example1 with an HTTP server running and shutdown - worked both
ways.  I am going to assume then that you can use certain API's in the HTTP
API set without needing to have an HTTP server up and running.  If anybody
disagrees with my assumption please let me know.

Thanks,

Hi all,

I am looking at using the HTTP API's to access web services on other
machines.  Up to this point I have been using the socket API's to send and
receive back information.  I would like to go to the higher level and use
the HTTP API's for ease of use and self documentation in the program.  I
will be using the programs that I write on 25+ AS/400's and don't want to
administer an HTTP server on each one if I don't have to.  So here's my
question:

If I am only going to be sending requests out and never hosting a web
service on these 25+ AS/400, do I need to have an HTTP server setup on them?

I realize that I could have taken the time to look through the API's to
answer my question, but I don't have a lot of time to make this decision.
Thanks for any assistance anyone can offer.
