Download and Install HTTPAPI (LIBHTTP) for IBM i

Step 1 - Check your IBM i System Prerequisites

Step 2 - Download HTTPAPI

Step 3 - Upload to your IBM i System

You have three main ways of uploading the SAVF to your IBM i system

1 - Use Scott's automated DOS BAT file to FTP upload

Switch to the directory where you unzipped HTTPAPI.ZIP

Run the batch file. It will FTP to your IBM i System, create the LIBHTTP library, create the appropriate source files, and upload all of the source members. 

You have to pass parameters to tell it where your IBM i System is, including your userid and password:

2 - Use Scott's manual FTP upload process

Step 4 - Set Up the Environment

Add the Library to the Library List: Ensure that the library containing HTTPAPI is in your library list. You can do this by using the ADDLIBLE command: ADDLIBLE LIB(LIBHTTP)

Step 5 - Test the Installation

Run Sample Programs: LIBHTTP usually comes with sample programs. You can run these to verify that the installation was successful. Look for sample programs in the source files and compile them similarly to how you compiled the main library.
