- Improvement about web form manipulation (remove a field, set a text value to input fields by name, ...) - Improved web form html generation, especially for select and type checkbox - Updated the date input field interface with a new set_date_value . File response: - "application/force-download" is not a standard MIME content type, so use "application_octet_stream" instead as default. Standalone connector: - Added expected creation procedure for the service launcher. - Added new "secure_port" configuration variable, for SSL standalone service. This way, if `is_secure` is True, the server will use `secure_port` (overrides `port` value). Date: - Improved support for RFC 3339 (a profile of ISO 8601) Removed obsolete and warnings: - removed usage of FILE_NAME - updated code to avoid implicit conversion from STRING_32 to STRING_8 - avoid uneed conversion to STRING_8 (when possible)
Eiffel Web Server Gateway Interface
Overview
The main goal of this library is to provide a common layer on top of many different connectors. A connector is a library used for the integration of Eiffel web server application with an underlying httpd server technology such as CGI, libFCGI, or even standalone Eiffel Web Standalone (which is a httpd server written in Eiffel).
Then one can build an Eiffel web service compliant with EWSGI specification, and thus with the same code (or almost), this could be compiled to run on any available connectors.
