I have a number of REXX CGI programs that I wrote originally for the Domino Go HTTP server, and subsequently migrated them to the z/OS supplied Apache HTTP server. They ran unchanged for the most part, except for early after the Apache server was made available for z/OS, CGIPARSE was not available and I had to substitute code to parse the variables by hand. Then later CGIPARSE was again made available to Apache and they were changed back (I think) to almost their original form.
A good redbook discussing all this is available: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp4987.pdf Dana >On Mon, 21 Jan 2019 22:00:51 -0600, Tim Hare wrote: > >>I haven't seen the Apache web server mentioned for some reason.
