Re: Is it possible to send a call to the CGI program without first rendering a page

Sounds like he may be wanting to make http request from a webpage, maybe
through javascript. The page that he's wanting to send from isn't
generated from the AS/400 maybe from a .NET server.

It's been about 3 years since I've gotten to do that kind of stuff, but I
seem to recall that you cannot make cross domain requests. Correct me if
I'm wrong. My feeling will not be hurt.

With that being said, it sounds like a web service is needed.

Do you find RPG developers who would like browsers to be 5250 terminals and
browser address bars to be 5250 command lines? What sorts of dangers follow
that line of thinking?

I think you need to clarify exactly the scenario you want to achieve
because the way you have worded that doesn't make much sense.

Is the request to the server (running on the iSeries) intended to respond
with HTML (i.e navigating via a link, anchor tag or button) or is it a
xmlhttprequest under the covers to a server that the browser is not yet
connected to?

What does "respond with a status update call" mean?

However, I do need to respond with a status update call to the AS/400

using

CGIDEV.



Can this be done?
