This isn't related to CGIDEV2. CGIDEV2 doesn't do any communications with
the outside world. Your iSeries has software called an "HTTP server".
This software is what handles the communications with the outside world,
and it's this software (and not CGIDEV2) that needs to be set up in your
DMZ's proxy server, and needs to be handled with SSL encryption.
The iSeries supports the industry-standard Apache HTTP server. This is the
same server that's currently running about 70% of the web sites on the
Internet. Consequently, there should be no problem setting it up to your
specifications.
CGIDEV2 is purely a set of subprocedures that you can call from your RPG
program. All it does is help you manipulate the data that the HTTP server
sends you, and help you manipulate the data you want to send back.
