Client-server HTTP communications made easy

Published: 01 December 2007 Publication History

Abstract

This article covers the problem of making client requests to Web servers over HTTP. More specifically, this article addresses two interrelated problems, sending data to a Web server using the POST method and processing the request with a CGI script at the server side. The purpose of this work is to provide a basis for understanding how these tasks can be performed in APL. While the proposed solutions are of a general form, the discussion is oriented around working examples, instead of simply providing reference material.
The APL code discussed in the article uses a number of .Net libraries that greatly assist the task of programming and do most of the drudgery work for us, hence the name of the article.
