providing web services via HTTPAPI
At the agency I work for we've taken some of Scott's examples of
server code and have a batch program listening on port 4000. When
contacted via telnet, this spawns another job which authenticates the
user and asks for a "program to call".
We'd like to provide something like web services using this
methodology. However, I'm not seeing any real examples of this. I
would presume that XML would be the best way to communicate between
the client and server. Has anyone on the list done anything like this?
Is there a better way to provide web services that would be more
robust and/or more straightforward?
The idea of rolling our own using these tools has some pros and cons.
I can't help but think this has been done before... why re-invent the
wheel.
