It seems as they don't provide a demo version. You can test a built demo but you can't build yours.

Also, after testing the online demo, I would say it is quite slow...

Harbour solutions as mod_harbour or the new HbWeb library in development, are much much faster :-)

Jimmy,

> was is HbWeb library

A new library for Harbour that provides a light weight web server to be used from your Harbour apps :-)

Antonio,

How will HbWeb differ from the hbhttpd already in the harbour contrib folder? (I already use this extensively, though I rewrote portions of it for my own purpose.)

Robb,

HbWeb is a light weight web server specially coded to allow you build web apps in a new and very nice way :-)

The idea is to implement the FiveWin easy of use syntax for the web, without having to install Apache, mod_harbour, etc

The purpose is to bring more Harbour users to the web apps development, simpler and easier

regards, saludos

Thanks Antonio. This is exactly how I use the hbhttpd contribution, for my purpose I've long had no need to use apache, just this contrib. Nearly 100% of the time all I implement is a REST interface in front of the various queries my apps need, then just do the REST calls from my FWH apps. I'll be interested to see what you do with this new implementation.

So if I understand, this is "in development" and is NOT available now for testing purposes ?

How large an application would it support ?

Dear Tim,

Yes, it is on development, the web server is working nicely and now we are focusing on providing the Harbour users a very easy way to use it.

There is no restrictions on the app size where you may want to use it.
