HTTP web services

The database server contains a built-in HTTP web server that allows you to provide online web services from a database.

The database server can be used as a web client to access web services hosted by a SQL Anywhere HTTP web server or third party web servers such as Apache or IIS.

The HTTP server generates standard web service errors when requests fail. These errors are assigned numbers consistent with protocol standards.

Several sample implementations of web services are located in the %SQLANYSAMP17%\SQLAnywhere\HTTP directory.
