GoAhead Compatibility Sample

The goaheadCompat sample demonstrates use of the GoAhead WebServer compatibility API module. For customers with existing GoAhead WebServer code, AppWeb supports the WebServer API so that previous WebServer applications can be easily migrated to AppWeb. The AppWeb compatibility API supports the WebServer ASP, GoForm and utility APIs.

To compile a program that uses the AppWeb compatibility API, you must include the appWeb/compatApi.h header and then link with the libcompatModule library. The sample is a main program that listens on port 8888 for HTTP requests.

This configuration file loads the embedded JavaScript module and the embedded server pages and embedded gateway interface, and static content handlers. It then loads the AppWeb C API module and the GoAhead compatibility module.

The sample must run single-threaded as the GoAhead WebServer API is not thread safe. It assumes that the sample is being run from the C/goaheadCompat directory under samples. Modify these module paths to suit your installation.

You should modify the DocumentRoot and Listen directives to suit your application's needs.
