[web2py] creating a rest api for file uploading and processing

Hi I need to setup a prototype for a web application which will expose a REST api to manage zipped sqlite db files, representing a mobile application project storage. I'm considering web2py because it seems agile and very well suited, but I would like to know if its "batteries included" can ful

[web2py] dynamic model (with uploaded db)

Hi, I'm moving my first steps ith web2py. I'm considering it to setup a REST service where a user can upload (zipped) sqlite DBs and view/edit their content through a web interface. The db structure is fixed (it's the storage of a desktop application), so I can define a model for it, but I wonder i

[web2py] Re: dynamic model (with uploaded db)

Thanks very much. If I understand correctly auto_import will only work for DBs located in the databases/ folder and have associated a .table file, right? While, if my DB is anywhere I still can use it (without auto_import) but setting to False the migration option. I will give it a try... as soon

[web2py] how to deploy web2py not in the apache root (help with url rewriting)

I've seen a lot of examples to manage url rewriting and proxying with web2py, but I haven't found a solution to my problem. I don't have much experience with mod_rewrite, but I would like to use it and avoid rewriting inside web2py (through its routes facilites). My situation is a single domain, w

SOLVED, setting the WSGIPythonHome directive to my python install, otherwise mod_wsgi looks in the wrong prefix (probably the one set when compiled?) giovanni On 8 Feb, 16:07, giovanni allegri wrote: > I've found the problem. I had added an erroneus wsgihandler.py to the > Directory

I will need to remove the w2p prefix too to obtain (e.g.): http://server2/cpa4 and http://server/mast

[web2py] rest service authentication on non-secure channel (HTTP)

I've read various threads on this topic, and I'm aware that web2py doesn't provide Digest Auth. I need to expose an http service to mobile applications. The users should set a password on its own device and it will be used transparently to access the services. For various reasons I cannot use HTTPS
