RE: Can HTTPAPI handle a response sent to a URL
That is what HTTPAPI does. It is client software - not server software. It sends data to web servers and retrieves the responses. It provides the plumbing so you can send
http://somecompany.com/tellmehowmanyareinstock/?product=foo
using either GET (like shown) or POST which would probably be how you would SOAP this request. The SOAP message has to be built by hand or you can use WSDL2RPG to help get you there. In either case, download and run SOAPui to help if the request is complicated.
and receive back
<xml>
<quantity>10</quantity>
</xml>
Parsing the xml can be done native using RPGLE opcodes or the EXPAT tool that is bundled in HTTPAPI (WSDL2RPG helps to create the code in templates to retrieve values as well). Using either method, you can get
qtyVariable = 10
Load it up, take the example programs in QRPGLESRC for a test drive, write your own program! It really is easier to do than trying to describe it in words. You will see this in the examples. Lean on us for assistance.

Can HTTPAPI handle the soap request response sent to a specified URL?
I'm not running a web server on the iseries and would need the response
in a RPG program.
