RE: http_close(): entered

Therein lies the problem. You think that just because I ask for a little
help with an error, that I'm new to ILE. I've been working on it since
it came out. I try to keep up to date on all the latest techniques
available on the i. 

I've checked job logs, program dumps and the like. I've dealt with the
code of many different programmers over the years. Some good, some bad.
Yours is quite good. I'm just starting out with HTTPAPI and thought you,
or someone else on the list, might be able to give me a little insight
into its' inner workings.

Obviously I've come to the wrong place.

P.S. Get over yourself.

ILE RPG didn't exist when the system was called Silverlake.  ILE was 
first available in 1994.

ILE introduced the idea of errors propagating from one procedure to 
another, and only issuing an exception message when a "control boundary"

was hit.

When that happened, programs started ending with messages like "the call

to PROCEDURE_NAME_HERE ended in error".  Any time you write a program 
that uses ILE concepts, in particular, subprocedures, you will get this 
any time an error occurs in your program.  All it tells you is that an 
error occurred in a particular routine -- it doesn't tell you WHAT the 
error was.

To find out what the error was, you look back at the preceding messages 
in the job log.

So any ILE program that you write, will have this same symptom, and 
you'd find out more information the same way.  That's what I mean by 
"ILE RPG Programming 101".  If you've ever debugged an error in an ILE 
RPG program, you'd have already encountered this error, and you'd know 
that to find out more information, you'd have to look in the job log.

I didn't say anything about you being new to the platform.  Just new to
ILE.
