wt non gui aplication
Added by Bruno Zerbo about 10 years ago
Hi to all,
I want to develop an application where I have a server without gui and some client that could be:
-a web app developed with wt
-an android native app
-eventually other clients for smartphone
I plan that client and server can dialogue thought http protocol sending some informations...
since I want to use http protocol I need a server http.
Can I use the ones furnished with wt? that is httpd?
how I can manage the request form client to give the right answer? There is somewhere some example code?
do you think that my design is correct to have some gui clients and a server core?
thanks

Hey,
Do you want feature parity between all three? Then yes, you could have a http server (could be wthttpd with a static resource, see for example how the RSS feed works in the blog example).
But if you want to save time implementing the Wt GUI, or make it more featureful, then you could save development time by integrating the Wt application with the server, i.e. similar to the blog scenario: it's a Wt application which is a GUI + some web services (useful for other clients).
