Hello Tom,
The advantage of the nginx proxy approach is speed and serving multiple
domains or sites. For example we have our main site running under the Joomla
CMS (no point reinventing the wheel). Nginx proxies requests between joomla
and 4D for our 4D Quote system and it is transparent to the
Hi
For the HTML markup files, I suggest using the extension .shtml rather than
.html
For us any direct request for a .shtml file will trigger On Web Authentication
and you can catch and reject the request.
Doing that allows you to keep things simpler in a single folder and you don't
have to
Hi,
A few commenters have suggested placing a 4D Web server behind a proxy server.
The problem as described can be very easily solved with very little change in
complexity and without involving other technologies. One of the reasons we all
use 4D is that it allows us to solve problems with
I place nginx as a proxy in front of 4d. Its very straightforward and can run
on linux and windows. Nginx runs the public port and can serve all static
resources images css etc. You can use lets encrypt for free ssl. This way
the proxy to 4D can run on http to say port 8080 which is faster and 4D
Hi Randy, the setup you are looking for is what I have done for all my projects.
I have two folders: “WEB_Public” and “WEB_Private”.
WEB_Public contains all my static assets like images, javascript, css, etc.

Use the so-called "Web decoy" technique. Basically you put your html files in
another folder outside your html root. Then redirect all r
Hey Randy,
The optimal way to achieve this is to set up the website with a different
web server functioning as the node publicly exposed to the internet. That
server deals with all the authentication and heavy protection stuff 4D
isn't very good at and communicates with your 4D server via API
