Re: Receiving file via HTTP



At this time I have the choice as to how they upload it so I'll go whichever way seems to provide the least complicated solution :)

    Hi Brian,
    how will the file be uploaded, as an attachement on
    a� multipart/form-data FORM or�
    as parameter in a normal FORM/POST?

      Hi Henrik,
      Do you have any simple examples of setup of powerEXT over HTTP for
      receiving a file?
      Thanks!

    �  �  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!
