Hi Boris,
I downloaded your Xb2Net demo before few weeks again and except few little things I have already converted all my source code from HttpEndPoint version(before CXP version) to your Xb2Net version – there are some little differencies in work-flow, philosophy, code - some thing are intertesting in CXP, some in HttpEndpoint and some in your product...
In next one or two weeks I will start againg testing re-coded new version at customer’s site.
What I can say - this is my point of view!:
- CXP is terrible to debug and maintance(and plus install and support IIS or Apache) and all source code must be at customer or hosting web-server
- HttpEndpoint looks very good and hopefully, but there are lots of items on To-Do-List or WishList-List(in last weeks I more times contacted Alaska’s guys), e.g. POST method doesn’t work in FORM, language support for non-english characters doesn’t exist(I made work-around, but it little slow-down refreshing of pages and also it need some more extra-work from cpu) – only LATIN-1 is supported now, session management works only in CXP version(but with some limitations) – hmm, it is interesting, before I moved to Xb2Net, I made similar session management like you use in your library, anyway, I will later ask you about some parameters for fine-tunning my current settings…, no SSL support…
hmmm, it is funny - now I have 3 versions of the same web-site… Cxp, HttpEndpoint, Xb2Net
Now it comes interesting question: why I didn’t direct do it all in Xb2Net?
answer is “simply“: I more times(and it looks not only I myself - what I see in post in your web-forum) in last years downloaded your demo, but I was lost… totally other new world for me, state-less work-flow, and mainly: examples in demo was and still are VERY complitated for BEGINNERS! This little changes Alaska in its help and ESPECIALLY Roger in his simple/primitive examples posted on this forum! Also, I started learn html and googled many things, how do it, but it will be super, if you also do any easy simple examples into your demo for some typical tasks, e.g. formatting text, creating tables, validating forms – included examples are very good, but very complex for beginners… and I am sure, it will grow up your customer base… Roger’s examples posted in this forum are FANTASTIC!!! Also, his examples in XDemo.exe are fantastic not only for new eXpress++ users!
By the way, below is an SSL Report for my website
https://xb2.net - naturally this website is running an Xb2.NET webserver. I have also taken the liberty of running the test on donnay-software.com (running Apache/2.2.22 (Win32) PHP/5.3.13 mod_fcgid/2.3.6). The results speak for themselves.
yes, I already tested your web-site before few days when I found post about this in your forum
just one question: what must be done from your side or from mine for give result A+?
I would also like to add that Xb2.NET now fully supports WebSockets (client and server sides) including SSL secure connections over the standard HTTPS (443) port. Here is an example (note that the WebSocket connection is using SSL):
https://xb2.net/wsecho.htm
is this your independent implementation of websockets or is it based on Alaska’s classes from Professional subscription?
