****		***
**** This program is a simple RPG program that demonstrates the HTTP		***
**** server APIs for reading standard input, reading an environment		***
**** variable and writing standard output. This is done using the		***
**** IBM AS/400 HTTP Server APIs.		***
****		***
**** The HTML at the end of this listing in CTDATA HTML is the text		***

**** served to a client.		***
****		***
**** 1-> Create HTML document as source physical file in library.		***
**** 2-> Set Source type of HTML document to HTML.		***
**** 3-> Create the *PGM object called SAMPLE(CRTRPGMOD and CRTPGM).		***
****	-Include the service program QTCP/QTMHCGI when doing the	***
****	CRTPGM in the BNDSRVPGM or BNDDIR parameter.	***

****4-> Check QTMHHTTP or *PUBLIC has access to document and QTMHHTP1 ***

****or *PUBLIC has access to program(DSPOBJAUT and GRTOBJAUT). ***

**** 5-> Set up HTTP server configuration directives(WRKHTTPCFG)		***
**** 6-> Start the HTTP server(STRTCPSVR).		***
**** 7-> Run request from a browser.		***

**------------------------ IMPORTANT --------------------------------*
**** The input for this program comes from CGI standard input or		***
**** the environment variable, QUERY_STRING. For an HTTP request		***
**** method of POST, the input is read from standard input and		***
**** for an HTTP request method of GET, the input is read from		***
**** QUERY_STRING. For method POST, this program will only read 1024		***
**** characters. For method GET, the program will not read any		***
**** input data when it exceeds 1024 characters. The QtmhGetEnv		***
**** API will set the length of the environment variable response		***
**** to the actual length and no data is read into the receive		***
**** buffer.		***
