that the program that gets triggered to display the page (or return the results) is Xojo-created (even if that means it is home.exe or server.exe that receives the URL and parses it properly to know what to serve- in this example, the “home” text).
Right now, I am using another language in conjunction with Apache, but Xojo has benefits, so I want to try it out for this purpose.
Where do I start? Am I creating what would be called a “web app?” Or should it be a “console app?” I’m not wanting to create a UI that faces out on the web. I just want to create an API that the outside world can hit.
I’m going to keep Googling, but if you guys ‘n’ gals could point me in the right direction, I would be very thankful!
A “web app” would be a graphical program that runs in the web browser… If you are just looking at running a daemon that will process requests, through an API, I’m guessing that a “console app” or even a “desktop app” would be the way to go… I haven’t done anything like this, so just a guess based on the fact you can keep the console/desktop app running in the background and it would have to listen for incoming API requests…
