| Hello to all:
I have developed a program for run Cobol programs since the internet,
and build PDF reports online with the data input from the html forms.
I call this program: COBHTTPD, is a litle http server, that server
html, gif, jpeg files, and special function: run cobol programs.
This is not a CGI wraper, is a really full program, not need any extra
dll or library for work.
Only need build your html form for your input data, define any
configuration special for run the cobol program in the server side and
do.
* Work with GET and POST methods.
* Can configure the TCP/IP listen port.
* Actually work with: Acucobol, RMCOBOL and MSCOBOL 5, i need test
more compilers.
* As easy like, receive your field input since the LINKAGE-SECTION,
build the report and exit from your program. Not need any more.
* The report format is like COBVIEW, another free program to build
reports to windows.
* The same program can work for build reports and reports to internet.
Not need two programs to do the same work.
* Work on Windows 98/2000/XP and 2003.
* Run as service on 2000/XP/2003
Now can download a program for test from: www.cobtools.com
Present works:
* Integrate multiple mime types
* Incorporate CGI functions, not only report functions
* Sessions management (for multiple calls and preserve data)
