RE: EDI over http?

[Steve Youngblood <SYoungblood@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

HTTP and VANs do not have to be mutually exclusive.  Harbinger and
others are operating Web servers to enable SMEs to send and receive
documents using only a browser.  Since Harbinger offers the forms for
many large companies, a SME may need to know only one URL for Web based
EDI.
