Why would you need fpweb to serve static content? Your web server does
that.
CGI/FCGI and apache modules (fpweb) are to generate dynamic content.

Good question. I want to deploy as an embedded server without the need to
install apache, etc for small workgroups and so the I need to allow the
server
to server up a few key files which could be from the file system or
embedded in
the executable file for instance.
For the most part the static files that I'd like to server up are the
index.html
page (entry point) and it's dependent script and or css files. All of the
other
html content will be served up through the templating system and injected
into
the initial index.html page through ajax or constructed client-side as a
result
of JSON data received from the server as well. I figured instead of
writing
separate web modules/actions for each...
I still do not understand why you didn't use 'fppkg install embweb' and
used that. That embedded webserver does all you want.
Joost.
I am using windows snapshots and it doesn't work with the fpc version
included. I think I tried manually copying the fpc files as well at some
point. I know I need to setup source compiling on windows, but this is a bit
of a side project and time is tight lately.
For testing and compiling on windows using current snapshots for now, I
figured I'd use FCGI since I already had a XAMPP install setup anyway and
that way I can debug it easily and test it in real time. I've also been
wanting to try getting an fcgi app up and running with lazarus for a while
now.
Btw, since the point of the framework is be backend agnostic as much as
possible, the need to serve up static files transparently in cases where
there is an embedded deployment may even be better addressed in the framework
itself at some point. I know, I know. Patches are welcome. :-)
The httpserver example in fcl-web/examples shows how to serve files.
Michael.
