Hello all,
some months ago, I wrote a program which allows to call webservices
(HTTP POST or HTTP GET)
from batch programs, written in C or PL/1. The program (subroutine) is
written in C
and uses the standard TCP/IP socket interface, available in the
classical z/OS environment.
I am doing all the conversion work myself, and I build the necessary
HTTP headers, and
analyze them on return. This works without problems.
When running under CICS, I provide the same interface to the callers,
but I use the
EXEC CICS WEB CONVERSE calls instead (because CICS does not allow me to do
standard socket calls, when under CICS control).
Now the problem is: I am limited to HTTP at the moment, but customer's
politics
requires me to do HTTPS in the middle and long term.
I have no idea what I need to do to provide HTTPS communication in the
batch and
in the CICS case; what are my options and what is the easiest migration
path?
Thank you all,
kind regards
Bernd
