Many Thanks for the reply,
I achieved this somewhat differently.
For some reason I had the wrong impression that after server.start(), it went
into the infinite loop.
However, Then I realised "Wt::WServer::waitForShutdown();" would not have
been called, but it does. So, I just put in the required code before that call
- as below.
if (server.start()) {
std::cout << "server started, port number: "
<< server.httpPort() << std::endl;
Wt::WServer::waitForShutdown();
.
.
.
WServer::instance() would also work for me, I am sure.
Kind Regards,
Neil
