Re: Caching Net.Data

GETURI can read a page generated by Net.Data and store it for you.

Almost there, one quick question: Can I pipe STDOUT directly to the IFS when I call Net.Data from my CL program that is generated the page into the cache, or is it a two-stepper, PF->IFS?

Mr. Gombkötö, thank you very much for that reference. Indeed,
that was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I suspected it could
be done, but was at a loss on what to search on. STDOUT was the key.

I'm going to begin developing this, and I'm going to try to
build it in such a way that any website could use it.

In fact, the site as it stands, at least the "backstage"
area, is already built in such a way that nearly any database
table could be worked with (add/edit/delete). Somewhere in
the back of my mind I have a fantasy about completing that
stuff, cleaning it up good, and sharing it with all my
friends here who love Net.Data.

The problem is that, since this is my hobby site, every time
I get an idea of how I could be a little more clever, I dive
into it...it's the project that never ends!

1. How would one go about "generating" the cached pages. I

know I could

use a PC-based tool to "download" the site, then publish it

back to the

IFS, but I'd rather 100% automate this. Can I call Net.Data from the
command line and redirect its output to a file?

Yes!
Just look at the Net.Data forum:
http://server6.kepnet.com/cgi-bin/db2www/forum.d2w/view?SID=20
000110182221678137

2. I realize this may be too application-specific, but in

vagaries, how

could you "wrap" the website to be able to recognize that a

page is in the

cache and display it? Maybe convert the single parm that can

be passed

into the page (K) in a folder name, something like

Index/1/Index.HTML,

Index/2/Index.HTML...I don't know...
3. If I do something like the naming above, can the logic to

decide if the

cached page exists or not be moved to the Apache server

itself using some

sort of pattern match mapping?

2 and 3: i once saw a very interesting article discussing
this. It was an
Apache article, but i can't remember where it was.

The main "trick" was to have a custom "page not found"-page
that produces
the page as desired. Maybe that helps or helps someone to
remember or point
you to the story.
