I have successfully used RMNet and HTTPPost commands to complete some integrations.  I have a new integration request and this one does not use HTTPPost, they are using the REST web service and HTTPPUT and HTTPGET commands.  I can issue a HTTPGET successfully and I am connecting, etc, but the PUT is not part of RMNet.  What other workarounds can I consider for communicating via REST and PUT commands?  The POST command is denied on the end server... when I attempt it, I get a result returned that says "No protocol for POST commands."... I tried just, even though their documentation states POST commands are not allowed.  I am not sure what other options I have with AcuCobol-GT to allow me to use the PUT command.

If you find that you also need to use the HTTP PUT and DELETE verbs, you can use cURL from CALL "SYSTEM".

Perhaps that is an alternative solution you can use.
