FOXISAPI/COM seems to be too diffult to debug and configure.
I cannot create a VFP MTDLL since I use REPORT command to create PDF
files. REPORT command does not work in this case.
So I'm looking a solution using CGI interface.
There are some possibilities: fix vfpcgi so that it does not destroy binary data (see my other message), use some other cgi connector for vfp,
call vfp app from web server directly (how to use stdin/stdout from vfp?) or write a wrapper using FOXISAPI.
>Part of the problem, no doubt, is that communication with the web server is going thru an intermediate text file. That's how VFPCGI works. I had to add a special routine to upload binary data so it's probably something similar. You'd probably have more success creating a VFP COM mtdll and calling that from asp or asp.net. All the communication is thru COM. The added benefit is much better speed and scalability...
