RE: Web Service using HTTP_URL_POST_STMF-Need example of target server program to receive xml file and return a xml file to the source

["Ric Turner" <rturner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have multiple iseries and we past data between them.  I am writing a web
service to payment data form server1 (source) to server2 (target) using the
HTTP_URL_POST_STMF.  The web service on server1(source) sends a xml file to
server2(target).  I believe the program doing the HTTP_URL_POST_STMF is
actually sending the file to server2(target).

What I don't know how to do is write the program to receive the xml file on
server2(target).  Is the xml file to be accessed on server2(target) by
reading stdin?  I have written a HTTP_GET sending a filename to
server2(target) and writing a program on server2(target) to populate the
file using stdout.  This seems to work great.

Thanks,
Ric Turner

Ric,

What do you mean by "TARGET" server?  Are you referring to Target
Corporation (the department store chain)?  If so, I have not worked with
them before.  Do they not provide you with documentation?

Or do you just mean a web service provider?  If so, then there are about a
billion variations on how they work, each one is different from the next.
You'll need to talk to whomever runs the server to get information.
