The most powerful solution is to have 4D operate as your Web server. You can deliver amazing performance in that manner. For an example of what I mean, check out the "Jobs Offered" database at http://www.careermosaic.com The URL for just the 4D portion is: http://www.careermosaic.com/cm/usenet.html The database is a 4D database which actually accepts the web connections and processes them. During peak usage, it handles 2500+ queries per hour and still able to resolve them in 3-5 seconds (all of the searches are full text index scans). Our firm developed the system for the client using our product, TCP Toolkit for 4D. Another demo of such technology is available at: http://www.mdg.com This site is maintained by MDG Computer Services. It demonstrates the technology which is being developer for the release of their "4D HTTP Developers Kit," which will include all of the code for the HTTP server portion, so you can concentrate solely on your value-added or custom portions. It implements all the key behavior. In addition, TCP Toolkit is the proven solution for any TCP connectivity from within 4D. SMTP and POP mail, FTP, Netnews, Sybase connectivity, and more have been implemented using our tools. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
