Does anybody know if someone has written a utility that can tunnel TCP/IP traffic (http traffic for example) through an MQ server? Theoretically, it doesn't sound too hard to write but I was just wondering if anybody has did it yet so I don't reinvent the wheel.
Depends on what you mean by tunnel. I think it's been done in a variety of fashions for a number of protocols.
There are adapters/bridges/interfaces that will map FTP transmissions onto MQSeries messages. Similarly, there are a variety of things that will map HTTP Requests and Responses onto MQSeries messages. MQSI comes with a SCADA bridge, and an MQEveryplace bridge. There are CICS and IMS adapters and bridges.
You could also write channel exits that would make use of the channel to pass non MQSeries data - but I think that might be harder than you expect and is probably a bad idea.
The question is what are you trying to accomplish?
