Re: STRPCO PARM limit.

   I don't know if this will work for you, but I had the same problem.
   What I ended up doing is to  create a  random number, write the big
   URL information extension in the file.  Then I just passed the random
   number to the [1]https://example.mycompany.com/?session=randomnumber.
   Then when the CGI program is called, it takes the session number and
   chains to the file, and I get all the information.

  Hi all. I started using the HTTPAPI for internal SSL web service call
  and it works great. Thanks Scott for this wonderful utility. My
  question is can this utility be used to call a regular, normal
  website?


Sure.



  I ask because I need to launch a web browser from the iSeries, but the
  STRPCCMD is limited to 123 characters. I tried batch scripting, but
  DOS doesn't like ampersand, and the url address contains an ampersand.
  Here is an example:

  [1][3]https://example.mycompany.com/default.aspx?GUID=d0c9e57b-8473-47e2-
  b386-fa123a&TTLTimeStamp=2009-04-27T20:54:32

  I just need to be able to launch this web site from RPG. Any ideas or
  suggestions?



STRPCCMD has nothing to do with HTTPAPI, if you're trying to open a
users browser to a web site, then you should be posting your question
in MIDRANGE-L or perhaps PC-TECH
