Http/Https request without authorization usecases

Simple Http request

The simpliest example. Just choose *None Authentication method, specify URI to be requested and request type - that's all.

 I2REST COMMAND(*GET) URL('http://apache.org') AUTHMETHOD(*NONE) 

Https request with logging

Lets exemine some more complicated example:

 I2REST COMMAND(*GET) URL('https://github.com') OUTPUT(*BOTH) 
 DCMCLIENT(MYCLIENT) RECVLOG('/home/btpl/recv.log') SENTLOG('/home/btpl/sent.log') 
 AUTHMETHOD(*NONE)                                                                          

Dealing with ssl/tls secured resources you have to setup your IBM i DCM client.
Result of a request could be checked in a joblog and/or printer output file, according to a value of «Output log events to» parameter.
All the data transferred from/to remote server will be saved to log files specified in parameters «Log recv messages» and «Log sent messages».
