Can I write a web service in "C"?

[milkyway]

Hello there,

Just what the title says. I know "C" pretty well and would rather work
with that. Is there a way to write a web service using this language?

Regards.

Why not google for it? (I did):

This question is off-topic for this group as it does not pertain to Java.

That said, assuming you are on the Windows platform, I would imagine
that .NET would support that. On other platforms, I'm sure it is
possible but there might be a lot more work involved.

HTH,

gSoap is the way to go. I have used this before and it works very
well, it takes a little getting used to and the documentation is not
always up to date, but the following message board should help you out:

There are other solutions, but gSoap is the most popular open source
solution.

Yes, you can. Web services are language-independent. However, it's
quite possible that there are no support libraries to help you out, and
it would be a considerably bigger job to build your own SOAP messages.
C++ is far more likely to have these kinds of libraries available than
C.

In either case, this is not the newsgroup for it.

I've heard of these guys if you're willing to use C++:

Never used the product, though.

Thanks to everyone that responded ;-)

I took Ghost's advice and looked into gSoap. It looks promising and
according to the advertisments, they say that it is also
performance-enhanced as well.

Will see what happens next!

Kindest Regards.
