SCOx Web Services Demos for Five Languages

This directory contains simple demonstrations of using web services in the five languages that have implementation support for web services on SCO UNIX operating systems: Java, C, C++, Perl, and PHP.

The demonstrations consist of client calls to one or both of two publicly-available web services: Xmethods' temperature for a zip code and Google's web search API.

In each subdirectory there is a shell script named mk which gives the commands and file locations necessary on this SCO UNIX operating system to use these web services libraries and tools. You can then reference these scripts when building your own web services-based applications.

The demonstrations may be viewed as files within these subdirectories:

These simple demonstrations obviously only touch on a small part of what web services can do. The intention is just to help get you started.

Note that in order to actually run the Google API examples, you will need to get a license key from Google and then substitute that key where you see the string "your-google-key" in those examples.

For full information on how to use each of these web services implementations, consult their home pages:
