Can an RPG program call something external, ie: a webservice?

Is there a way for an RPG program to call a web service? I would prefer an ASP.Net web service but would be fine with a winform app or a web page.

I'm wanting make an internet service available to the iseries by creating a gateway.

Solution

Scott Klement has written about how to do this. Our RPG developers have used his articles and call our .NET web services in many of their newer programs.
