Xojo app as webservice with authentication?

hi, is there an example of an xojo app that acts as a webservice (which remains to those who query the webservice, of the data read from a db) all but with authentication (user and psw)?

Hi Jury - just some quick questions to clarify… Are you use HandleURL and ‘statelessly’ publishing this data for some other app to consume, and you’d like to force the request to contain a UID/PWD for authentication?

I would like to create a webservice that would allow a client to query my server to obtain data from a db (using json), but I would like everything to be protected by user and psw (possibly not visible in the clear)

and i would like use handleUrl

If you use SSL (https://) then the WebRequest should arrive secure, allowing you to have the requestor of your service put their credentials into the request. You can test this by testing the WebRequest.Secure property.
