HTTP Server for iSeries (5722-DG1)
HTTP servers are the core foundation of technology at the heart of all e-business
applications. They handle the communication with the client (typically browsers or
XML-rendering devices such as palm pilots) and provide the entry point into server
resources. These resources can range from simple HTML and GIF files, to e-business and
e-commerce applications, all the way to full-blown business-to-business, collaborative
enterprises.
For the iSeries servers, network computing is supported with HTTP Server for iSeries,
formerly known as Internet Connection Server. An iSeries server can access a vast network
of computers as if they were a single entity. Everyone and everything can access and
distribute information, applications, and services provided by the network.
