Re: AS/400 as an http client

Any chance of doing it from the NT side??  That way you could run a batch
job on the NT to get the file
and then run whatever you needed to after that.

Hello all,

I know that the AS/400 can serve web pages but can an AS/400 program
request a page from another server?

We need this capability for the folowing reason:

Each nignt, our AS/400 send a files to an NT server via FTP. After
receiving the file, the NT server must start a process that will
incorporate the file's data into an intranet application. The way to start
the processing in the NT server is to request a web page that as a CGI
program linked to it.

We can not put a program on the NT server that would monitor activity on
the transfered file.

I hope my explanation is clear enought

Thank you in advance
