Which procedure for non-XML document

["Sturgeoff, Lorne" <lorne.sturgeoff@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   We have a requirement to communicate in real time with a web service
   from an interactive RPG green-screen application. The web service
   states that requests can be sent via HTTPS GET or POST of name/value
   data in a way similar to an HTML FORM. Data is returned in the body of
   the HTTPS reply as name/value pairs.


   Note that this is not XML.


   For example:

   Send:
   [1]https://www.blahblah.com/something.cfm?Method=Check&Username=userna
   me&Password=password&, and so on.


   Receive: TransactionId=XYZ1234567890& TransactionResultCode=7100&
   TransactionMessage=Approved, and so on.


   My question for the list is, what would be the appropriate HTMLAPI
   procedure to call for this application? I was considering http_get()
   but am reluctant to use it because I think it requires a stream file
   in the IFS to hold the results. Since this application can be called
   by several simultaneous interactive green-screen users, I want to
   avoid using work files in the IFS. I would rather parse the name/value
   pairs in an RPG variable. Is there a way to do this in HTTPAPI?
