Creating a Web Service with COBOL...



Hello,

Just read the following articles and I thought they were interesting,
however, I am wondering if I can create a Web Service by simply
using the Windows APIs (SDK development kit) ? I know that the
SOAP protocol uses the HTTP/HTTPS over the internet to support
interoperable machine to machine interaction. So, is it possible to
use the listed below functions to send the needed XML messages
between clients and servers ?

Thanks for any comments....

HttpOpenRequest()

HttpSendRequestEx()
