RE: [WEB400] QtmhRdStin and QzhbCgiParse Limitation

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My client Java program (named SndURL) is sending 1MB of XML text to my eRPG
program (named READTOFILE) which attempts to read in the entire XML text
through Standard Input (using qzbhCgiParse).  Here is where I had my initial
problem, reading that big of a request into my program because the API's
only allow for one read when a POST is used.  That is when Anton suggested I
just allocate the needed space based on CONTENT_LENGTH and trick my way
through using IBM's API's by adding to a pointer.  Well that worked great,
now I am just having some minor conversion problems (I am getting garbage,
but it is exactly the correct amount of KB's).

Here is the sub proc that is doing what I am describing.  I have not
"cleaned it up" yet, so be easy on my code;-)

Does that explain it a little better?

If an uploading of a file works, then GETURI will still
work as it can also simulate an HTML file upload form.

Aaron, you need to describe what's going on a little better
and I think we'll help.  If the problem is your program
can't read enough from StdIn then you are making a client
request and GETURI or something similar would work.
