RE: HTTPS/SSL

[Mike Krebs <mkrebs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Doug,

Confusing terminology - "sit waiting on a link". This is not normal to sit waiting on a link. You either get data or not.

It sounds like you want to set up a server application? The server would wait for a client to connect and do something when it is sent some information?  This is just "standard" web server behavior. Create a CGI program of some sort or use the IWS to host a web service.

Or do you want to do a client side connect with no timeout? You say hello and the server gets back to you at its leisurely pace. Or do you need a client to wake up on some schedule and retrieve stuff?

Huh, not really sure what you are after here.  More details please.

I have a need for a program to sit waiting on a HTTPS/SSL link. It is to wait for incoming transactions. There is no schedule as to when they will come in, and I cannot retrieve them in a batch mode. I will need to have a program to sit and wait on an internet link to receive the transactions and process them immediately.
 
There may be 100 in an hour or 5 in an hour.
 
I would like to try this using RPGIV and the GS toolkit and also use the HTTPAPI routines as starting points.
 
Has anyone set up this kind of application before? Can it be done? Does someone have examples?
 
Thank you,
 
Doug
