Re: HTTPS/SSL

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Doug,

Not much information provided, but this sounds more like a server 
application.  Use the HTTP server Powered by Apache that's included with 
IBM i.  Use CGI if you're planning to do this in RPG.

The volume you suggested (100/hr) is very, very low.  Performance 
shouldn't be an issue at all.  (Though, performance with the HTTP server 
is generally very good.)

I'm guessing that this is unrelated to your previous messages -- since 
all of your previous ones referred to you operating as a client, and 
this time you're acting as a server?

HTTPAPI won't help you with this.  GSKit would work if you wanted to 
write your own HTTP server from the ground up, but frankly, that's just 
silly... no need to reinvent the wheel, here.  You're not going anything 
unusual.  Just use the HTTP server that comes with the OS.
