Thanks Otto. I tried your suggestion, and so the server starts and the
'culture' entry appears in the seaside page and I can configure it.
No files seem to be served, sadly, and placing a breakpoint into the
handleFiltered: method (below) doesn't stop there when I try to load a file
in my web browser with http://localhost:7777/hang.png so it seems that the
WaExternalFileLibrary object is not getting its turn to do something with
the request.
WaExternalFileLibrary>>handleFiltered: aRequestContext
[ self {breakPoint here} processContext: aRequestContext ]
on: Error
do: [ :error |
aRequestContext responseGenerator
internalError: error;
respond ]
I realize that one can use Apache or other web server in front of Seaside,
but one of the selling points of my product has always been that you don't
need Apache. Run BASIC is an easy web programming system for hobbyists,
and so not requiring the web server is an important feature.
I had no difficulty making this work in Seaside 2.8, and it surprises me
that it is hard to do with newer versions. I'm hoping that it's still
possible if the right bits are twiddled. Do I need to do some additional
configuration? Someover on Discord said that the right class to use is
WAFileMetadataLibrary? ;-)
Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks again.
