Gotcha.. Thanks again for everything you do!

the http_req() worked! Thank y'all so much!

@Scott, Just out of curiosity/education purposes, why do you consider the http_url_post() routine "old school".

I saw that but didn't think it would fit my needs. Can't hurt to try. I will code it up and see if it works and report back. Thanks.

I've run into my first requirement of an API that requires "PATCH" instead of "post". So I Googled the following in AI_mode: on IBM i in ILERPG using Scott Klement's HTTPAPI service program, is it possible to use PATCH instead of POST .

It said, Yes! Use http_xproc() with HTTP_POINT_SET_METHOD ...

Thanks! We shall give it a try.

I'm presented with a new project challenge of receiving .gpg files on the IBM i and found that, of course, the great-one (aka Scott K), already tackled this monster for us ole dinosaurs. Before I go down the road of installing and trying it out, I have a couple of questions/concerns.

The Using ...

Oh wow. I never would have thought the PSDS would come into play. This prompted me to actually read the documentation. lol.. Sure enough there she blows. I will test it out and see. Thanks so much!

Thanks jonboy... I'll keep experimenting with data-into by just giving it a name. I've reviewed several of Scott's presentations on YAJL but I don't recall seeing anything about naming the root. I'll keep looking. If I find a solution, I'll follow up with a post on what worked.

I have successfully used HTTPAPI in concert with both data-into and YAJL to read a JSON response. I'm very perplexed as how to read a response that looks like the following.
