I have a web type project coming up and decided to poke around in the fpWeb
stuff.  My, you guys have been busy, I never took a good look around the
fpweb/laz web sources till today.  I was thinking of using php with symfony or
one of the smaller frameworks, but its a bit overkill for my project.  I'm
considering using fpweb/lazarus so I'm writing a small test application.

I thought I saw mention of a embedded web server available?  I currently have a
pretty simple embedded server using synapse that is a modified version of the
demo that comes with the sources.  I was thinking of writing a
TCustomWebApplication to use that.  But I did remember somewhere in a recent
thread, there was mention of an existing embedded server...?

fppkg update
fppkg install embweb
restart Lazarus
In Lazarus->install packages->   select embweb->   install


I tried that with the latest snapshot and it spat out an AV.  I guess the FPC
2.4.3 doesn't work for that?

On which command? It's possible to get this working on fpc 2.4.3, but I
won't bother.

fppkg install embweb

When it didn't work the first time, I also tried fppkg download embweb before fppkg install embweb, but the result was the same.


The problem is that I'm on Windows and its such a bear to setup Lazarus/FPC to
compile from sources, at least in my limited experience in doing it.

Just download a lazarus snapshot?

Odd. That is what I did after your first reply to my original post. I downloaded and installed the latest snapshot "Lazarus + fpc 2.4.3" for Win32 from here: http://www.hu.freepascal.org/lazarus/

4) What is the protocol for using a restful type url like this?

http://mysite.com/module-name/function-name/var1/var2/var3

You van use 'GetNexPath' to get the next 'parameter' in the URL.

5) For those instances where I need to build a page or fragment of html through
code, which unit is recommended?  There seems to be some overlap between
fcl-xml/dom_html.pp and fcl-xml/htmlelements.pp.

I always use htmlelements and the htmlwriter.


OK. DOM_HTML looks pretty useful though. There seems to be some overlap in functionality of the two units (dom_html and htmlelements).

Thanks again!
