Hi
I've recently been trying to build a wrapper using DLL wizard for a commercial dll (known as 'spider.dll') and have unwittingly stumbled into the world of ISAPI.
This dll is expected to be used with MS IIS and the URL looks something like this:
. . . ./spider.dll?(+queryargs)
I would like to find out if it's a possibility to call the dll from 4D/Active 4D scripts, pass it the query parameters and get a return which I can embed in the page being served.
Here are the problems:
- I have no knowledge about ISAPI whatsoever
- I haven't used dll wizard before, but have been able to create a simple 4D plugin wrapper for the demos
- there's no documentation about the dll
- however it seems to expose standard function calls which are frequently referenced in ISAPI tutorials on the web
- all the web sources I can find are about 'writing' an ISAPI dll, not 'accessing' one
As you can see, I am very much out of my depth on this one and and would appreciate if anyone can tell me if this is worth pursuing or not.
Regards
Peter
