Hi guys. I need to add SOAP options for my old web server application.
Is it possible to simultaneously run one web server and, regarding the input port, choose what application module returns some value.
For example, on port 88 user see web application, and on port 995 web server act like a classic SOAP server to return some data/information?
How to determine which port is listened and how to "swich" to module (SOAP / web)
Nettalk 7, Clarion 8

hi Oggy,

>> I need to add SOAP options for my old web server application.

Creating SOAP methods is a LOT easier in NetTalk 8 with templates and so on. I think you will save yourself a lot of time and effort if you convert the app to NetTalk 8.

>> Is it possible to simultaneously run one web server and, regarding the input port, choose what application module returns some value.

not really. Each web server procedure is listening on a port. You could of course have 2 web server procedures in an app (calling the same handler) but I think that would get quite confusing.

why not just let the one server serve both people (HTML) and programs (SOAP) over the same port?

>> For example, on port 88 user see web application, and on port 995 web server act like a classic SOAP server to return some data/information?

I'm not 100% sure why you feel the urge to split them across 2 ports. It's very easy to just do both on 1 port.

Thanks for clarifying this.
Even better, I just have to put one port throught firewall and router, easy one..
I thought that  HTML  and SOAP  requests cant co-exist on one server/port. My mistake, Bruce... 
Now I have one SOAP server that works very well for about 3 of 4 montsh. And I have second server, on another computer, which is stricty for HTML requests. Now, I will bind both servers in one bigger, on new Dell PowerEdge T420 server....
And, regarding new Nettalk8, soon, Bruce, soon  , but now my "old" Nettalk 7 works very well on...
Biggest "thumbs-up" for Nettalk 8 is possibility for geotagging, which on Netalk 7 I can not force to works as I expected. I mean Google maps and ESCI-Java part in web servers...

Hi Oggy,

Yes, NetTalk 8 has map support - but I'm not sure what exactly "geo tagging" is...
