Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Nettalk Future?
« Last post by Bruce on August 12, 2026, 11:35:20 PM »Hi Osa,
Development in the NetTalk engine has been "on hold" for a bit because I've been working on the new File drivers.
https://www.capesoft.com/accessories/filedriverkitsp.htm
Having access to more powerful, more secure and faster drivers is the next natural step for NetTalk Web Servers. So first I need to get the drivers "done" and then add some of those features into NetTalk itself.
(Actually NT14 and earlier will do well with the new drivers already because the new drivers use far fewer resources on the server side, and are also tuned for page-based requests, such as the ones NetTalk makes.)
There's also a lot of new functionality in the drivers which need to be exposed via NetTalk. For example the Full Text Search concept makes complete sense in web apps etc.
And of course, there are a raft of new features etc on my white-board waiting for adding to NT.
Cheers
Bruce

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Syslog 'Server'
« Last post by PaulMacFarlane on August 12, 2026, 07:55:19 PM »No.
I use a service from Barracuda Networks to filter email. I need to be able to search the log for certain domains and receive a notification of the messages was quarantined or blocked. Nearly 100% of google hosted domains do not have SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup correctly. Google doesn't make them do it, but then again 50% of spam comes from gmail and gmails reporting is unworkable.
Anyway, we can't just add these domains to the allow list and the only way to search the log is manually or via syslog. But the syslog also has a bunch if irrelevant stuff I want to ignore.
I also want non-admin users to be able to add domains to the search list.
So, I want to receive syslog records and then process them without using our normal syslog server.

Not sure what you are really trying to do. Do you want to take log entries from your NT server and filter them and send an SMS text to your phone with the ones you want?

« Last post by rjolda on August 12, 2026, 07:36:53 AM »Ooooh, that hurts. If you don't have one procedure per module, then reset your app with one procedure per module. If that doesn't help, then maybe you need to re-visit your very large table?

Yes! it is one of the items I could not recall.
And there was another external one that was discussed in on of the webinars.
Think it was similar to leaping frog with type of output.
The memory getting a little shaky nowadays
thanks
Johan

Maybe you are thinking about the NetTalk WebStrain.app.
It is here: C:\Your Clarion Folder\accessory\Examples\Capesoft\NetTalk\WebClient\Web Strain

Web Server - Ask For Help / NTWS load testing and other info software?
« Last post by JohanR on August 11, 2026, 09:39:05 PM »Hi,
I recall there was software recomended to test a webserver/website.
This will mostly be for the public facing area.
I have been using ScreamingFrog free version and , provides very good info and easy to read,
but free version only does 1 connection and the paid version a little beyond my budget for this exercise.
Also been using loader.io
Any other tips possibly on helpful load testing software?
thanks
Johan

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Update field/variable on lose focus?
« Last post by rjolda on August 11, 2026, 10:53:10 AM »Hi Johan,
I did separate top menu items for Reset Password and for Create New User Account. They do not have to be logged into the app to use these. For password resets, they just enter their E mail address and press the Send Button - My code checks the e-mail and if it is a registered E mail I send them a link for Password reset. That is a separate form from the login page - got too messy trying to do logins and password resets on same memform. I allow new users to fill in a form and they need to enter their mobile phone number and their email ( their e mail address is their login). I then send them a text with pin code and the link to use pin code to sign in and get new password.
I am not sure that you can trap the "Save" button on a memform.

Thanks for the info
Was thinking along the same lines.
Another method that I am trying to get to work is using the SAVE button, this seems to do the field update correctly.
However this is the LOGIN page, and it was called from a page that requires the login
So the SAVE button URL does not work.
The issue comes in that I have added a few forms hanging off the login procedure and the _chain_ is at play, so it wants to go back to the page that called the login procedure.
These extra forms are for password resets, OTP's , new signups etc..
Still working through this.
regards
Johan
