I'm trying to convert REXX calls to IP sockets to HTTP/HTTPS services as documented in z/OS MVS Callable Services for HLL. Per the sample code found in SYS1.SAMPLIB(HWTHXRX1), I:
1. Call HTTP_getToolkitConstants
2. Call HTTP_init
3. Call HTTP_setupConnection
4. Call HTTP_connect

I constantly die here with the message

jim.dillon@sentry.com,

Did you check if the KEYRING location is correct? It points to "NVEXEC/NETVIEW.RING"

Also can you post the error messages?

Kolusu,
Hi. Thanks for your response. The ID I want is 'NVEXEC' and the ring I want to use is 'NETVIEW.RING'. I have coded an entry like this on the advice of a vendor and it appears to be working.
I searched the web and found an posting from New ERA Software and it mentioned some maintenance to this toolkit. This maintenance provided a new setting to specify some Cypher Suites which allowed me to make a connection. However, all settings are strictly in the code I am using and does

I am making progress! Thanks for your reply!

I have figured things out. These tools as listed in chapter 21 of manual z/OS MVS Callable Services for HLL, 'The z/OS HTTP/HTTPS protocol enabler' do not interface with the TCP policy agent as I as led to believe. All access and permissions must be set up using these tools using "HWTH_OPT_USE_SSL" and others.
