Hi,

I would like to make my VisualWorks Seaside web-app manage all the path-information on its own and to let it appear in the root, without using any external tool like Apache to rewrite the url:

http://localhost:8080/?_s=TOAZSOrdyJEZlDnS&_k=hZkCbQvC

How do I create such a web-server in VisualWorks? VisualWave is so terribly complicated compared to Commanche or Swzaoo :(

Hi Lukas,

Why not use Swazoo? I did this sort of thing in Squeak with Swazoo-HTTP and Swazoo-Listener. These packages give you a minimal HTTP server for Seaside. You could backport them to VW, which shouldn't be too hard, or perhaps figure out how to make the stock Swazoo do what you want.

My urls look like this:

http://localhost:8080/app?_s=TOAZSOrdyJEZlDnS&_k=hZkCbQvC

This is handy because you can still have config and administration apps running alongside your main application.

Good luck.
