Re: Web listener

Hi
This is rather more like the response that I was expecting. It does seem
that you get what you pay for :-) I still haven't got my head around the
mv.Net logon procedure.
Thanks

We do this type of connectivity in 2 different ways

a) mv.net - makes it pretty rapid to build a web service and have it
call the subroutines on the back end

b) our older way of doing it (due to some socket issues in older
versions of d3) was this
have a file that is q pointered to a unix directory (don't
know if q pointers are a d3 specific thing)
ftp a "request" file from the web service to the directory
have a d3 phantom running and watching that directory ready
to process requests
write out the response into another Q pointered directory
that the web service is checking for

this worked surprisingly well and the only issue we ever ran into
was that there is a bug with d3 and phantom usage where if you are
passing large enough amounts of data through, the phantom ports
eventually "die" and have to be killed/restarted (looks like a memory
leak so we ran a daily process to check for processes over 30K of
memory usage and just killed/restarted them)


A is an easier solution to develop for by far since we ended up having
to build a lot of xml by hand in pickBASIC which adds to development
time. B however, saves on licensing costs because it was 100% our
solution. So YMMV
