Actually - I'm back at Albertsons/Safeway having been hit in the May IBM RA so only one site. Before we went to IBM we were using curl internally between the mainframe and a number of Linux servers as it was a common protocol on both platforms (sftp didn’t work for us as it was omvs only).
I've found that trying to adapt to the common protocol that InfoSec already is familiar with significantly assists in opening firewall requests and as such HTTP/HTTPS is the one most often already open.

Jerry, I lobbied IBM (Kershaw Mehta in particular) via the TDM process to keep curl with z/OS, but they sold it (and lotsa other stuff) to Rocket and I ended up winning a bet! LOL I know you provide sysprog support to more than one site. Which protocols are being used in those sites?
