PureBasic Forums - English

I'm wondering if we may have been barking up the wrong tree with this? What if we just used REST protocols, with a lightweight open source web server and PureBasic intrinsic, HTTPRequest()? Seems like that, at least in my case, solves the problem.

Thoughts?

PB already has FastCGI() commands if you're happy to put a third-party server in the mix. I've done this with Apache and it works well.

That's what I am thinking I will do.

Adding TLS to PBs Network commands is pretty easy, see here

Hi,

after seeing and testing the work of Opcode, idle, HexOr and infratec on https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewto ... 78#p593078 I would really love to have TLS integrated stable in CreateNetworkServer().

Before I make an offer to Fred, maybe there are others in the PB community that would as well pay something for this and we can add the amounts?

+1 for me, and I will also put in some extra

Anything new on this?

The current version of libretls 3.9.2 is available in the atomicwebserver.com repo
https://github.com/idle-PB/atomic_webserver_3

The tls.pbi is thread safe and is also adapted to handle multiple servers to make a terminating reverse proxy which is a must have feature.

It's transparent to the pb network functions and fairly well tested in atomicwebserver.com which is also reverse proxying another domain with both servers running on the same machine.

It should be easy for the dev team to adapt into the network lib now it's tested but even so all that needs doing is to add static builds of libretls and we can just use tls.pbi

Atomic_webserver_3 would be compatible with CertBot (formerly letsencrypt) or ZeroSSL (paid certificate) ?

You can use any acme client with http request you just need to run an instance on port 80 for the http request to work.
I use lets encrypt certs and use certify the web for windows

Done !

That's huge!

building LibreTLS static on windows linux osx arm yes that's a big bonus.

Wait, that's gonna be static or external dll?

Static like most of the PB libs
