Those of you who have 4D Client acting as web server:
I've got 4D client working great as a web server.
Now I like to "know" that the web server is running from another client.
I'd love to have the same functionality as the Execute on Server attribute
But for a specific client
Not available, that I know of
I've got a few options that I can think of:
I'm not enthused about any of them
I'd like to think there's a much easier way.
Hopefully I'm just being dense.
1. Get the "Registered Name" of the Web server client
Send an EXECUTE ON CLIENT asking Web client if server is running
Send back an EXECUTE ON CLIENT to the "calling" Client with the results
(would require a "Delay" until received info)
2. Get the "Registered Name" of the Web server client
Send an EXECUTE ON CLIENT asking Web client if server is running
Have the client send an object with the web server info using SET
PROCESS VARIABLE to the Server
(or EXECUTE ON SERVER)
Have the original calling client GET PROCESS VARIABLE from server
(would require a "Delay" until received info)
3. Have the Web Server client continually loop (every minute or so)
And have the client send an object with the web server info using SET
PROCESS VARIABLE to the Server
(or EXECUTE ON SERVER)
Have the original calling client GET PROCESS VARIABLE from server
4. Do an HTTP Get on the Web Server Client
NOTE:
OK if the web server is running
If web server not running, there is a long delay before HTTP get
returns with the status code.
So, not an option
Any other ideas from the 4D Brainiacs?
Gracious Thanks!
