Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: DNSimple DNS method for Lets encrypt fails.
« Last post by PaulMacFarlane on August 25, 2026, 11:42:51 PM »Who is you DNS provider?
I have a client using Godaddy and the DNS challenge method is now broken. The challenge record cannot be posted using v1 API anymore. You have to use the v3 and it requires an interactive login.
So, the option is to go to move DNS to CloudFlare or some other provider that allows the DNS challenge.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Webserver: "cleanup code sequence" does this sequence matter?
« Last post by Bruce on August 22, 2026, 07:37:12 PM »Hi Ton,
The first one is more correct.
The second form won't save the session state.
I've tweaked the template for the next release.
Cheers
Bruce

I've made a new StringTheory build (3.88) which should take care of this for you.
>> using [::1]:8090/yadayada
>> that is correct syntax. If you are adding a port you need to add [ ]
Cheers

Thanks for you reply.

Your advice for SetHostValue and GetHostValue works perfect.
Thank you very much.

BTW, the procedures are STATELESS - that means that they do not stay open until closed. The NT code keeps cycling through the procedure and keeps track of the stage it was in when NT engine last went though it. So, the code keeps cycling through the form until the user closes it with some action. SO, watch the stage in a trace as your app runs and you will see it cycling through stages. There is even a check box on forms to write the stage to the trace.

« Last post by rjolda on August 20, 2026, 12:45:46 PM »Hi Johan,
Again, I ask the same question that Jane asked. What are you trying to do?
I am doing some file upload and manipulation and then save. The code runs several times but I only wanted it to run ONCE. So, I looked at the stage number for the stuff I wanted to do and found that it would run only ONCE if I limited it to a certain stage - there are equates for the stage numbers in a form. So, looking at the stage number when your code fires might help you limit it to only a certain stage.

A session value is going to be tied to a particular session ID, so it will only be "global" for that one session.
I use a number of regular global variables in web apps that are set at startup and then read-only thereafter.
If you don't want to use global variables, you can set host values in the web server procedure when it starts (maybe in ThisWindow.init). (Since pweb does not exist in the web server, you would use s_web.SetHostValue).
