About HTTP Server for AS/400 Web Programming Guide(GC41-5435)

The web is an interactive medium. For example, it allows users to use search

utilities to locate information on a topic, give feedback to a company about its

products, and more. The IBM HTTP Server software does not perform these tasks.

They are performed by external programs using information passed to them by the

server. The HTTP Server for AS/400 Web Programming Guide tells you how to write

external programs that interact with the IBM HTTP Server for AS/400 product.

The HTTP Server for AS/400 Webmaster’s Guide, GC41-5434, describes the

configuration directives used to set up and control the IBM HTTP Server for

AS/400 product.

The IBM AS/400 Information Center presents information about the Web server and

many other AS/400 products and topics in an electronic, searchable database

format. The Information Center offers assistance in setting up and configuring your

Web server and publishing a Website, as well as the advanced functions such as

logging and proxy serving. It is available on the Internet at
