Re: Need Help with calling a .net web service

["Michael Ryan" <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

HTTPAPI (in LIBHTTP) works well. I use it to call a .NET web service.
Check out the examples in LIBHTTP/QRPGLESRC. Pick one that's close and
go from there. You'll need to know what the web service wants (XML
data), how to send it (probably POST) and what is returned. You can
return data to a variable or an IFS file, and you can parse returned
XML on the fly.

Give one of the examples a try. Try EXAMPLE1 - that gets a .PDF file
from Scott's system. Email back with specific questions. It's a very
workable tool.
