Re: Receiving file via HTTP

   Brian,
   if your partner wants to push a file it can be done with both CGIDEV2
   or powerEXT
   over HTTP (your partner is the HTTP Client and your IBM I is the
   server)
   It can either be done as a multipart/form-data or as a normal POST�

   Mike,
   powerEXT Core is actually only an extension of CGIDEV2 and has its own
   version running
   "under the hood" that comes with the package

   The big difference is really that powerEXT Core is made for generating
   and READING formats like XML and
   JSON inline to support WEB 2.0 development. Most CGIDEV2 program will
   also run on powerEXT Core
   so you more or less just have to include the powerEXT Core library
   instead of the CGIDEV2 library and�   recompile.

     A few years ago, while playing with CGIDEV2, I created a "web page"
     that was a post with a "large FORM field" for data. I used HTTPAPI
     to post the document to this "web page". It worked for the test
     using small files (that fit into variables). I was sending small csv
     files. I looked in our old intranet pages and I couldn't find my
     example, but I know I hacked it together using CGIDEV2 on the server
     side.
     If your partner can create a HTTPAPI like connection, that solves
     two issues for you. One, you will know when the document is received
     (a problem with monitoring IFS directories). Two, it is very easy to
     create a "web page" that accepts a file. You could use an actual web
     page if that works or you could just use the POST url to have
     CGIDEV2 process the page directly.
     Since 2009, it looks like CGIDEV2 now has some extended support for
     this. �[4]http://www.easy400.net/cgidev/html/exhibiv3.htm
     More information on another technique:

     CGIDEV2 works pretty well and has decent directions on getting it
     running quickly. If you have not worked with APACHE directives, it
     can be frustrating if you want to change where things are located,
     but overall, not too hard to setup or use.

   Subject: Receiving file via HTTP
   Hello all,
   This is not a direct HTTPAPI question, but I am hoping the list may
   have
   some experience or suggestions on this.
   I have a partner that would like to push a JSON formatted file to us
   that we will then parse. �I'd like this connection to be made to our
   iSeries and the file dropped off to the IFS where we will pick up and
   parse the file.
   I am thinking of using YAJL or powerEXT for the parsing of the JSON
   file.
   What I really need help on is what/how to set up on the iSeries to
   accept the connection for the JSON document to be dropped off to me.
   Simple to start would be better as we may have a dedicated connection
   to
   the partner and not need much/any authentication on the HTTP
   connection.
   If anyone has info on the best/easiest way to set up something like
   this, it would be very much appreciated.
   Thanks all!
