About This Book

This manual helps programmers use some of the key classes in the %Net package, which provide an easy-to-use interface for a number of useful Internet protocols. Because the class documentation for this package is fairly extensive, this manual provides a quick, organizing overview, rather than an intensive look at every parameter, property, and method. It is assumed that you are familiar with the protocols and third-party tools mentioned in this manual.

This book consists of the following chapters:

• Sending HTTP Requests

• Sending and Receiving Email

• Creating, Writing, and Reading MIME Messages

• Using FTP

• Using SSH

• Sending and Receiving IBM WebSphere MQ Messages

• Other Caché %Net Tools

For a detailed outline, see the table of contents.
