http://hostname:port

http:
Identifies the protocol. The workstation gateway server uses the HTTP protocol.
hostname
Identifies the system to which you are sending a request, such as
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
Note: To use the host name, you must have either a domain name server or a
local host table.
To reach a host for which you do not have a name server or a host table, use
the dotted decimal address of the host.
:port
Port 5061 is the default port for the workstation gateway server. You can
change this port by using the WRKSVRTBLE command. Keep the following in
mind if you choose a different port:
v Use wsg for the name of the service.
v Use tcp for the protocol.
v Use the dotted decimal or the alias form for the host name.
Either is accepted. Therefore, you can use the workstation gateway server
whether or not you have configured a host table.
If you do not specify a port on the URL, the request goes to the AS/400 HTTP
server at well-known port 80. Because you specified WSG, HTTP redirects your
request to the workstation gateway server.
Note: You must configure the HTTP server to allow it to redirect traffic. To do
this, specify the
redirect
directive:
Redirect /WSG http://--address--:5061/WSG
WSG
The WSG request keyword.
Note: Specify WSG in upper case.
/QAPP0100?
The prefix that indicates the exit point information follows. (The ‘?’ is just a
separator character between QAPP0100 and any arguments that the system
passes.)
op_specific_parm
Information about what operations the workstation gateway server must
perform.
A signature for a workstation gateway server session is added to your address after
your initial connection. This signature identifies your session to the AS/400 system.
Notes:
1. The workstation gateway server port is different from the HTTP server port. This
is because workstation gateway server is a new type of server for which no
well-known port exists.
2. When using the workstation gateway, you might find that the view of the AS/400
display varies between browsers. If there are alignment problems with the fields
