Re: Witango-Talk: Processing .html files with Tango

[John McGowan]

Thomas,
I am interested to find out if you have an answer to this too.  I think 
that the mapping between file extension and plugin is hard coded into 
the witango apache plugin, because I couldn't find any way to customize 
that when I looked into it a while ago.

A possible workaround for you if you don't find the answer would be the 
following.

replace all instances of ".html" in the code to ".tml" rename all the 
files to .tml instead of .html

this should get the site running, except of course for external links 
pointing to .html instead of .tml (which you can fix with a mod_rewrite, 
right?)

And If you have any hard coded links inside of flash pieces or anything 
like that, but the mod rewrite might take of you there too.

I know this thread is old, but I searched around and
didn't find an answer to the original question of
whether it's possible to tell apache to process
*.html thru the witango plugin, as you can do on IIS.
We have inherited a set of legacy tango2000 apps,
hosted on WinNT and IIS, that are littered
with html files that have logic in them via tango
metatags.  We are moving them to witango in an effort
to improve reliability until we can replace them, and
our standard infrastructure is linux and apache.  I'd
hate to have to host IIS servers just for these apps,
and rewriting 10000 html files to remove metatags is
not an option.  Does anyone know if it's possible to 
map *.html to the witango plugin in apache, ala IIS?

Thanks!

Actually you can set up an IIS web server to pass
   

.html files to the
Witango
 

server.
Go to your web server properties/Home
   

Directory/Configuration/App 
Mappings
 

and map .html to C:\Inetpub\scripts\t4iis.dll
All your html files will go through the Witango
   

server, if that's 
really
 

what you want. Then you can put metatags, callMethods
   

etc. in your 
html
 

files and Witango will process them just like if it
   

was a .tml file.

with Tango
 

Sorry if I am stating the obvious here and am right
   

off the point but, 
I
 

think that you must be assuming that you add WiTango
   

tags to a html 
page,
 

and then tell the Web Server to pass all files
   

through a post 
processor
 

like NetCloak and similar products to act on the
   

tags. WiTango is not 
a
 

post-processor but more a cgi which receives calls
   

from the web server 
to
 

act upon certain MIME types.
The WiTango App Server processes .taf .tcf and .tml
   

files requested 
through
 

the web browser which would be configured to pass
   

requests for these 
MIME
 

types to the Witango App Server.
To server up WiTango functionality you create use the
   

Witango Editor 
to
 

create .taf files which include HTML and embedded
   

WiTango codes.
 

You don't process html files with the WiTango App
   

Server, that's what 
the
 

Web Server is for.
If you're asking what MIME type you add to the httpd
   

config file for 
the
 

Tango server to process .taf .tcf and .tml files then
   

that should have 
been
 

done automatically by the installation of the WiTango
   

App Server.

What is the syntax to add to httpd.conf file in
     

Apache
 

so Tango will process html files or different
specified extensions? This will be for the current
version and for v5. Thank you.
