Need help to find the code or direction to make the server in HMG

[Anand]

I want to create a 'server' using HMG code which will wait for a 'port' and on receiving a html request will return data from dbf as html.
I should be able to access the server from browser using 'IP:port' like '192.168.0.100:5000'

I saw/used a similar code from HMG/MiniGUI, but I can not find it now. Need help to find the code or direction to make the server in HMG.

Try hbnetio sample. It should be in samples folder

Thanks Mol for the suggestion.

I tried all NETIO I found in samples folder of HMG MiniGUI Ext.
In all the server works from the client application.

But I want to access the server from browser like 127.0.0.1:2941

Any guidance how I can achieve it ?

Hi Anand,

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to make a "server" in HMG when Apache (which is very popular and well maintained ) and the likes do the job best.


Warm regards,

Sorry to everyone for late reply.
Last week was hectic and I could only sit for company work. Our kitchen is getting repaired and I had take leave for it.

Now I have some time and I will check both Mol and Roberto post for it. Thanks to both of you.

Jayadev, I have Android app. I am using it to access DBF and NTX files on our windows server, via ip:port address. To access the port I am using a java jar which accepts the request and creates files for it. Then my Xbase++ program uses that files to generate reports from DBF/NTX database. The java jar then send the report to the app.

I want to use Harbour to do both java and XBase++ job. But first to do the java job.

I found old sample with micro httpd

Well I could not compile it successfully. The batch file expects some per-defind path of Harbour and I use MiniGUI Extended.
I changed the path to MiniGUI Harbour folder but it did not work.

Maybe the code are very old (2009) and expects some code which is not there now.

Anyway no problem, I will keep trying and inform of any development. Thanks for the code.

I will now check Roberto's code as I get time.
