[NewB]

Hello,

OpenEdge : 10.1c on Linux

In a program I need to use a URL to receive information.

http://www.xxx.com/cgi-bin/xxx.cgi

This CGI have an input parameter (string char)
and send me back a string char.

ex : http://www.xxx.com/cgi-bin/xxx.cgi?azer|aqqsdfq|

This cgi-bin is provided by an external company

How can i do this ?

Thanks for your help.

Any suggestion is welcome.

you can use sockets to get data from a web page, or more simplier way is to use a 3rd party command line tool to do it. Something like curl would do the job.
