Thanks for the feedback folks. The reason I was doing this query was to
review the 'reason' for the recent license changes that make CallHTTP
'consume' a seat if it is used within a 'phantom' process. I didn't say WHY
I was interested get 'genuine' usage comments. Like many of you, I use
Phantoms use a seat. Always have. It really has nothing to do with what
the phantom process is doing. It invokes a Universe session. I would
suggest that if you don't want to use a Universe seat to accomplish an
HTTP read you utilize cURL, Wget or some other OS level command line
tool to
I Believe this change was made by IBM, not rocket, prior to the sale of U2.
I thought that any of the calls that open sockets as a phantom will consume a
license now,
not just CallHTTP.
The READ/WRITE method even though it can still be abused, has it's issues with
consuming cpu while checking
phantoms on our system do not take a license seat. They do take a unix process
PID.
We are at UV 10.0.1. I do not know if unidata is different in that sense.

That gets rid of all @VMs not just the empty trailing ones.

This handles embedded nulls as well as leading and trailing nulls. This would
