This redbook is instrumental in the access and use of the Internet
(or your own intranet) from your AS/400. It helps you understand
how to use the functions and features available with V3R2 of OS/400
and the TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities/400, also known as
the Internet Connection for AS/400. This document can also be used
for V3R7 of OS/400 due to the functional equivalence with V3R2.
This redbook helps you get your AS/400 'plugged in' to the Internet
with a discussion of Wide Area Network (WAN), Local Area Network (LAN)
and both dial-out and dial-in SLIP connections.
We then will address some traditional TCP/IP applications like
e-mail with MIME and POP3 enhancements, Telnet, FTP with new APIs to
provide anonymous access, Gopher, and AS/400 security issues.
Then, we will detail the new 'cool' side to the AS/400 with the
World Wide Web (WWW) HTTP server as part of the Internet Connection for
AS/400. Topics such as CGI programming, access to DB2/400 data via
DB2WWW macros, and the 5250 Workstation Gateway that converts legacy
5250 applications to the language of the web (HTML) are addressed with
implementation details and example programs.
