Hi list, has anyone here ever set up a real HTTP server for running gb.web.form applications? I've decided to use nginx and setting up https there was easy enough (https being the the reason why I can't use gb.httpd). Normal Gambas CGI, i.e. a Gambas script with gb.web, also works fine.
But I have no idea about gb.web.form. I read around in the gb.httpd source code and kind of get its control flow but I'm none the wiser about how to set up an external HTTP server to work with this component. In particular I would run the .gambas executable archive on every request, which, I presume, involves rewriting the request URL, i.e. /my/project.gambas/x should be redirected to /my/project.gambas while setting Request.Path to "/x". I'm not sure if any other information about my setup is useful here. I think I succeeded in redirecting all requests to my program and by setting PATH_INFO from the original request URL, I get a meaningful Request.Path in Gambas. The result being that the skeleton HTML of my page is shown but it's not responsive at all (and it appears to be the wrong page, i.e. the wrong Webform.Startup, indicating that probably Session management doesn't work). It also seems like the browser is not able to communicate with gb.web.form. Instead of trying to debug my setup which looks completely wrong, my question would be if someone has a working configuration for this type of project for any HTTP server (that isn't gb.httpd) -- in the hope that I can go from there to nginx.
