That is what I did expect.
It can use a TFPTimer, which does not suppose
a GUI and X server.
Sounds good. So it might have an event queue.
It doesn't need to. It has a web-server, which queues all requests, and
sends them one-by-one to the fcgi application. (If you configure it
right)
Maybe fastCGI Application in fact implements the NoGUIApplication that I
need and I can use it, even if I will not do a CGI. Perhaps just the
name is confusing...
No, it implements a fastCGI application. You can not use it for what you
want. Otoh, what you want is not necessary to build a persistent
web-application. That can be done much easier. (As is done in the
fastCgi application)
My intention is to create a "toolbox" that allows to convert free
running (embedded) "normal" applications to not needing the GTK binding
(after having stripped them from the user interface). But they still do
need things like Timers, TCP/IP communication, serial interfaces,
threads (with "synchronize" and "postmessage" / "procedure...message")
Well, the fcl-web applications do not support timers, TCP/IP, serial
interfases and postmessage functionality.
Why not ?
My fcl-web application does a SOAP request to another server.
What is this other than a TCP/IP request to another machine ?
Michael.
