The "exactly" same exe that uses gtwvt under Win and gtxwc under Lin and Mac OS X can be started with a -httpserver parameter. It acquire an unused TCP port within a given range and waits for calls. The call can be: - "get a file" like jpg, html, pdf, swf and so it works like a normal http server - an Harbour functions like "getcustlist( <params> )" - a name of an hrb file The "server" evaluates the call and returns: - an xml file like <request field1="one", field2="two", fieldn... /> that is parsed by the standard DOM functions that in turn populate the UI - a pdf, xls, rtf, csv from a report function that the browser opens using the usual "Would you like to open or save" request. As I said it's not ready for production ( and we're not sure it'll ever be ) for the moment is a proof of concept. We were waiting for MT since having hundreds of ports ( f.e. 100 users and 5 exes ) is a security nightmare. Now we hope we can have only one exe and one port and 500 threads but we're not sure it'll be possible. We need 24x7x365 reliability. I hope I was clear enough. best regards, Lorenzo _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
