Need help with a very simple lookup.

["John Buying" <JBuying@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Greetings,

   So I am trying to work with geo coding. Yes I will need to create a
   mashup of all the local pizza places in RPG.  Now this is some task.



   My first step is to geo code all the places.  I have found a www site
   that will return the lat and lon for an address.



   I downloaded the HTTPAPI and looked through the examples.



   This is a very simple www service.  I don't need to load a file, put
   data into a physical or save information to the IFS.  I just need to
   make the call and get the data back in memory.  I like the currency
   example.  But am at a loss as to how to convert it so that it would
   work for me.  This also might not even be the best example to use.



   If your address was lets say the white house I would put in
   [1]http://rpc.geocoder.us/service/csv?address=1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
   NW, Washington,DC



   and the server would return to me 38.898748,-77.037684,1600
   Pennsylvania Ave NW,Washington,DC,20502  You could change the address
   to get your code.



   So which would be the best example for me to work with so that I could
   make the call and get back the coding?





   As a side note....

   I have tried to use the amazon example, but the link to get an account
   seems to be broken.  I have then found it and signed up.  I put in my
   key and it still failed.





   This is my first venture into this crazy world.  I know this might
   seem easy to you, but I have to take a few baby steps first.



   tia,

   John
