Planning your CICS Web support architecture for CICS as an HTTP server

Before you start to plan your CICS® Web support architecture for CICS as an HTTP server, read the topic HTTP request and response processing for CICS as an HTTP server so that you understand the processing stages that can be involved.
The CICS Web support architecture for CICS as an HTTP server varies depending on the tasks you want it to perform. Some configurable components of CICS Web Support are required for all tasks, such as the TCPIPSERVICE definitions for the ports that receive inbound requests. Other configurable components are only required for specific tasks.
