RE: [WEB400] RFI: XML, HTTPS, SOAP & AS/400

["Andrew Borts" <Andrewb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Native solutions don't exist on the 400 for SOAP - apparently - IBM doesn't 
believe that it's a standard yet... except in Java... 

If you don't want Java - HTTPS posting to another server using SSL requires 
something like the GETURI function you can purchase from Brad Stone for under 
300 bucks - REALLY worth it IMHO!  

I used a PC interfacing my external SOAP client... it was their VERSION of soap 
(or their implementation) - so good luck.

You could have a look at Apache Axis, an open source SOAP implementaion
in Java (see http://ws.apache.org/axis/)
Some info concerning security:
