Title: Help Wanted for REXX support for some Apache DLLs.
Post by: RobertM on 2010.01.06, 22:04:50
Hello all,

We are looking for a programmer who has some experience with:

(a) building REXX DLLs
(b) porting *nix code

Namely, we are interested in:

(1)


Currently, I have an Amazon AWS account that requires key authentication - for which I use a PHP function included in your builds.

It uses the hash_hmac() function. All works perfectly and as expected under Apache and PHP. I still have the need to run a few Lotus Domino Go WebServers running scripting via REXX though, and currently, my workaround for those is to send the request to one of the Apache servers, and have it pass back the URL string with the hashed value...

Preferably, I would love to be able to access that function via REXX directly on the LDGW boxes instead of the less elegant method I am currently using.

Is it at all possible to compile a version of that function that are REXX callable?



(2)


We are hoping to obtain the same functionality out of the Apache PDF plugin where it can be REXX callable with the appropriate HTML passed to it so it can then output the PDF version.



These can be individually tackled by different people - or both done by the same person. Both DLLs needed have already been ported to OS/2 by Paul Smedley, so I suspect the porting portion of the work should be pretty easy... which just leaves adding the REXX entry and exit points...

Any takers? Offers?

Best,
Robert

Hi,

I'll help you out, but don't mind if more people want to participate to code, test and write documentation.
