CICS WEB APIs supported by TXSeries compatible with CICS TS API

the API of CICS TS and CICS WEB, they are not exactly the same.

Following CICS WEB APIs are supported by TXSeries to work CICS application as HTTP clients:

WEB PARSE command

WEB OPEN command

WEB CONVERSE command

WEB CLOSE command


If you look into the details, for example,

For WEB OPEN,

TXSeries supports the following: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/txseries/9.1?topic=reference-web-open

CICS TS supports the following: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cics-ts/5.4?topic=summary-web-open


For WEB PARSE URL

TXSeries supports the following: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/txseries/9.1?topic=reference-web-parse

CICS TS supports the following: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cics-ts/5.4?topic=summary-web-parse-url


For WEB CONVERSE

TXSeries supports the following: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/txseries/9.1?topic=reference-web-converse

CICS TS supports the following: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cics-ts/5.4?topic=summary-web-converse


The parameters are different between CICS TS API and CICS WEB API . CICS TS provides richer API. So application work on CICS TS can not work on TXSeries, for that reason need to look into the code and make sure the API calls follows the requirement of CICS WEB API. Is it possible to enrich the WEB API of TXSeries and make it compatible with CICS TS API?
