Hello All,

The recent Zowe discussion got me wondering...
Let's say there are thousands of components or subsystems in z/OS, such as the 
service for catalog services, ISPF, ISMF, SMS, SDSF, JES2, RACF/ESM, XCF, IOS, 
parts within CICS, DB2, IMS, etc. etc.
Is it not possible to create a module for each of these subsystems/components 
that, in essence, maps the existing assembler/C/REXX APIs to HTTP APIs, and 
provides detailed documentation (so as to cover what is callable via HTTP)?
By module I mean modules for a web server, such as the IBM HTTP Server for 
Apache.
This way, since z/OS comes with IHSA these days, exposing z/OS guts via HTTP is 
just a matter of adding modules to the HTTP server.

I don't know if what I've described is basically z/OSMF, but with WAS 
Liberty... ?

C'est possible?
