RE: How do I do HTTP GET, wait for response from a website?

Tom,

You'll need a sockets program to do this.

Brad Stone has a program called GETURI (http://www.bvstools.com) that I think 
may have the source with it but it doesn't do SSL. He does have a version that 
supports SSL but it isn't free.

As far as sockets programming goes, Scott Klement (don't have his website 
address handy) has an excellent tutorial.

Subject: How do I do HTTP GET, wait for response from a website?



We're thinking about using an online credit card processing center.  Their 
requirement is that we package up our transactions and transmit them via 
http/https, and prevent the user from being able to view sensitive data in 
the data stream.

We use Net.Data for page presentation, and I can pretty easily pass 
parameters to an RPG program.  However, I have no clue on how to write an 
RPG program to do the next steps - send the GET command, and wait for (and 
process) the appropriate responses.

Anyone?
