Re: Apache directive syntax

John,

When a user signs on (compulsory), they are allocated an OS/400 job number
and this is the first six digits of the long number at the end of the UI.
There is no theoretical limit to number of concurrent users possible.

It is certainly not my intention to let the client choose the program - I
have tried using wildcards in desperation but, as I said, I really don't
know what I am doing with Apache. The exact same structure has worked fine
under V5R1 with original HTTP server for about 10 years.

All applications use the same initial URL -
http://192.168.2.70/cgi-bin/erros and once they have signed on, and their
initial screen has been displayed, if they then press Enter, the URI will
always be http://192.168.2.70/cgi-bin/E31RPP.PGM/081854473505965/ where
081854 is the job number and the remaining 9 digits together with the job
number make a unique session ID. This applies for all applications. All
data and application definitions are stored in the database, as are user
authorities to use applications and the user is presented with a list of
applications to which he is authorised, retrieved from the database. All
applications, however diverse, use the same CGI program and database
handler. Selecting an application takes the user to an initial menu for the
application which is also stored in the database. As there is effectively
only one CGI program, they cannot select the wrong one. The CGI program
E31RPP generates all HTML and Javascript on the fly. There is no stored
HTML. But this is not really relevant to my problem which I feel sure is
simply a config problem (but I might be wrong!).

How can you control that is only get called once ? if more than one client
is accessing the API you could have up to by default 40 jobs running. We
have 19 jobs serving the api's right now.
The first program wsrpgm02 is a router program the looks at the uri and
does a DB lookup to find which program to load. It provides a level of
security.
I hope you are not going to let the client side pick the program. One typo
from the client developer and they may run a program you don’t want them
too.

Thanks

Many thanks. The wild card is not in my config but has been put there,
at
the beginning and end of each line, by a mail package when responding
to my
post. I don't know why.

I don't need the SETENV code as the library list is set by my initial
program. The other difference is that I have to distinguish between the
initial program which calls my CGI program (indirectly) and that CGI
program, as, rather obviously, the initial program must only be called
once.
