However, my understanding is that 'On Web Connection' is always called if the actual requested page or content isn't found, even if the 'webDecoy' folder exists for real and without adding the '4dcgi' prefix.

You are of course correct, I wasn't thinking clearly on that one.


Will this configuration allow me to take advantages of 4D's web cache ?

If 4D's web server is serving content, it should. If you enter the url /4DSTATS you can see the cache hit stats to see if it is working.


What seems like a long time ago when we first started using Active4D, I was converting from 4D's tag stuff to Active4D and had both running at the same time (both Active4D and 4DServer pages served). Can't remember how I did it, but I remember getting chastised for doing it! (think I had stuff in On Web Authentication or something that may have caused a problem)

Anyhow, we converted to Active4D shortly after. I never removed my original web root. After reading this post, I tried to access 4DSTATS and got an authentication challenge which I couldn't get past. I then tried a couple html files in the old web root and was surprised that they worked (served - not parsed).

Does this mean I can serve static pages out of the "webDecoy" folder without causing a problem? Don't have a use, but almost sounds like serving dynamic pages with "onWebConnectionHook" would also work?

Don't have much static stuff, in fact we just converted most of it to work under our fusebox layout. It looks like I have the option. Not sure it would give me anything more than a "safe documents" directory gives me.
