Hello to all Pascal developers!
I'm a freelancer, my clients, in these years, are asking me software solutions that can serve information to different application such as desktop, web and/or mobile. For this reason I've changed the way I approach the problems they have from a client / server structure to a modular “three-tier” model.
The base solution I've developed, is now the start point for every new application.
The basic idea has been to write a Httpd Apache Module that can answer to HTTP requests, so, to avoid writing an Apache Module from scratch every time, I wrote a little module called “fpcProxy” that receives an HTTP request, decodes it and finds the external library (listed in the file “HttpdProxyLibraries.dat”) which must elaborate the answer, then takes the answer and sends it back.
In the 7z file you will find a schema that illustrate the idea.

All requests and answers are a json data serialization.

Thanks to this code now I need only to develop the library that answers to the requests and I can forget the Apache interface.

I don't know if this code can be useful to someone else, I hope someone will find it interesting and will help me to improve it.

Thanks Sir
tomorrow we will test your code

Hello CT's developers, there is something strange in package lz_fpweb in CT 5.30.
Usually, after rebuilding IDE with the option -Cg, I compiled the source code that you can find in the previous attachment without any problem and it worked well. With this version of CT, Apache Httpd raises an exception “EHTTP: No REQUEST_METHOD passed from server”. I came back to the previous version 5.20 and I saw that the package weblaz (in 5.20) was replaced by lz_fpweb. Can I use CT 5.30 to compile Apache modules with particular compiler options?
Thank you very much.

Luca

Sir
we change only the name of the pkg
I think must work OK with CT 5.3

Ok, thank you. I'll try again.
