Is there any way in AOLServer to register an exception handler? What I would like to avoid is going over all the pages in my site and adding a catch statement so that if an exception is thrown, either through the tcl interpreter or or a postgresql query or action, I could catch it with a proc or

Some helpful info: 1) the documentation seems to be geared toward Unix, I assume some win-centric docs or revisions will come out as popularity grows. in the meantime go to BIN and try nsd -t ..\sample-config.tcl. That's basically what the Start menu shortcut does for you. 2) 3) WinZip

Wow, that is a *great* idea. Then you could register an exception handler for a url path. If it's possible, it would probably have to be something set inside the Tcl interp that is running the ADP or Tcl code, before it starts running the code. Unfortunately I don't yet know enough about Tcl

Along the same lines, is there a way to capture all the output from an ADP in a buffer, and then alter it before it's transmitted? This would allow things that can't be done easily, or at all, in IIS/ASP. -- Mark Hubbard: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Microsoft Certified Professional Knowledge is Power.

THe sample-config.tcl in 3.4x is not totally correct either. I have already found a couple of parameters in the wrong section and it has delayed our conversion from 2.3.3 until I can go through the source and figure out ALL of the parameters and which section they should go in. Maybe the docs

Yes. We do virtual hosting this way. Register a proc for /, look at the Host: header and URL, then source/read the files from whatever directory you want. The downside is that you are invoking TCL on every request, which has some overhead. But we've been doing it for years, have 1M+ hits/day,
