If you have curl you can use the HTTP protocol and I've run curl in batch previously
Jerry Whitteridge [email protected] Manager Mainframe Systems & HP Non-Stop Albertsons Companies -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Billy Ashton Sent: Friday, November 19, 2021 1:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: EXTERNAL EMAIL: Using HTTPS from JCL for file download? Hi all, I am back! After successfully getting my FTPS and SFTP JCL set up and working right here, some manager got a bee in his bonnet to say that he wanted to use HTTPS protocol from his JCL, because he read that HTTPS was the best way to go. I tried to explain that HTTPS was meant for browser applications, and that some special application would be needed to process the HTTPS headers and data, but he insisted I try to find a way to make HTTPS work from JCL. So...can this be done? Can a batch JCL job run HTTPS to do file downloads? If so, can you help a brother out and let me see how you do it, so I can see if we can do it here? I appreciate this group - if it can be known, someone here will know it!
