>I will have to look at third party offerings, I am sure. Are third party tools a foxISAPI implementation?

Not sure what you mean exactly. Most third party tools are implemented as ISAPI extensions. Some are ASP extensions.

>My original question should have been: Does foxISAPI (implemented with VFP MTDLLs?) provide objects to script html? If this is the case, then (could not) VBS, ASP or JS be imbedded in the VFP->HTML scripts(?).

No FoxISAPI is very basic. It provides nothing in the way of tools, just the connection layer.

As far as scripting goes you can use ASP to call COM objects for example. Web COnnection can use Fox code for scripting as well as Fox code in classes (my preferred approach - code in classes callign out to temlpates).


>I mistakenly assume that any return page scripting engines are a genre of CGI. Like some sort of 'in process' CGI service. Too simple - for sure.

CGI is a specific technology. With IIS CGI is not recommended - ISAPI is the high perfromance persistent interface.

I think it's just a matter of terminology...
