Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: NetWebBrowse Paging using memory table

Hi Bruce,
Ok, while making the example I found the problem. It was basically when the memory file was pre-loaded which was irrelevant to physical files.

Hi,
My NetWebBrowse paging works fine in tps or SQL tables but displays only page 1 when using memory tables. When NEXT page button is clicked page displays No Records

Hi Bruce,
>>make sure the settings in the WebServer Extension template are "using" the settings template. In other words;
>>General Tab:
>>Host Names (CSL): Set:Domains
>>Listen on Secure Port: set:SecurePort
>>Listen on Insecure Port: set:InsecurePort
>>Advanced Tab
>>Session Timeout: set:SessionTimeout
Yes, those settings were the cause of the issue and behavior.
Thanks,
Vic

Hi Jane,
It sure does look like painfully heading that way. Will have to start checking it out.

Hi Bruce,
>> c) You assume the browser will let you ignore the scary message and just proceed - whereas they may not be able to - Chrome on desktop for example is starting to not allow this, and we can expect to see this migrate to the phone as well.
Right, this is what I'm afraid of happening, it's probably still fine on a desktop where you can keep using the browser version that allows it but not on the mobile devices, which is the target of the application.
>> customer IT knows they have control over the information as opposed to a mere mention of internet access.
>>This would scare me. The fact that the IT staff don't understand the security implications of this would worry me a lot.
I understand, for this particular customer(it's not a bank) they were the ones asking for it, we only use whatever facility they provide. Btw, does the https security protocols already apply on the Socket level?
>>the self-signed certs have not changed from NT10 to NT11, so if you are having problems there you need to be more specific since it's not NT.
What I did was to follow the CIDC2017 day 2 security training on self-signed certificates in NT10 using the BasicMobile example of NT10, added the ServerSettings tab,generated self signed certificate and it worked fine. I can switch from insecure 88 to 443, had to ignore the scary message but it still allowed me to proceed with secure tag on the URL crossed out.
Then Upgraded to NT 11, Did the same thing using the BasicMobile example in NT11 this time, added the server settings, generated certificates (initially encountered cryptonite and FM3 error messages but were resolved by clearing the contents of the programdata/capesoft/nettalk/mBuild folder). It was fine in insecure port 88 but in port 443, the browser responded with ERR_REFUSED_CONNECTION and subsequently ERR_TIMED_OUT. I also noticed that after inputting port 443, within 5 secs, the log message read [insecure] listening to port 88 following [secure] listening to port 443 message.
Thanks,
Vic

Hi Bruce,
I was under the impression that when we do self-signed certificates (for LAN/IntraNet deployments), we are able to at least ensure the communication is encrypted,right? The data handled by the web app has no link to the customer db. It's more for something like filling of forms to unload the counters and those information are discarded after the transaction or being able to send notifications to the mobile devices such as to their estimated wait time,etc. While it is true the initial browser message is scary, customer IT knows they have control over the information as opposed to a mere mention of internet access.
>>This short problem is this - HTTPS on the LAN, at the moment, has problems - not NetTalk or Clarion you understand, but regular world problems that will affect you.
Is that the reason why NT11 self-signed certificates no longer work like it used to in NT10? there are new standards? That would really be a show stopper.
Thanks,
Vic

>>Presumably they need to connect to the bank's wi-fi to do this?
>>Do they access the current web app through their own devices, or the bank's devices?
1. The current web app is designed to be used by our customer to serve their customers. So it's our customer using their devices on their WiFi as of now. The intention is to expand the app to serve the transacting clients as well using their own mobile devices.
2. Intend to provide a separate wifi and router and to assign the branch app sever to uniform IP so that same mobile app/url can be used by transacting clients in different branches.

« on: November 18, 2018, 05:34:40 PM »Right, Customers may or may not have multiple networks but if they have they also have levels of priorities and this particular application may be considered non-essential at the moment. The customer who wants it now doesn't have such high availability network. However, it is not a show stopper thanks to NT disconnected apps but just a constraint we need to live with for now. But PWA sounds to be an enabler bypassing the stores for one, so I guess just have to try it out and see.

« on: November 17, 2018, 11:02:09 PM »Thanks for the responses guys but here are the constraints:
1. We are dealing with customers with several branches interconnected thru a very unreliable Intranet. While consolidation of data can be adequately serviced by an NT disconnected app, centralized data access is impractical as it may take too long ( can stretch more than 24 hours) to sync.
2. Internet access is absolutely out of the question as far as IT ADMIN is concerned.
3. We have an app server in each branch running NT webapp servicing fixed and mobile counters.
4. The objective is to give the branch's clients a more "digital experience" <BG> thru their mobile devices(phones/tablets) by allowing them to access their day's transactional interests while waiting for their turn to be serviced by the counters. While this is already possible with an NT app, it would be ideal that a client can have a uniform launching interface (app-like) when transacting in different branches (while connected to different branches app server). Ultimately, would like to be able to send push notifications to the branch's client mobile devices directly from the branch's app server.
Offhand, I am wondering whether launching a PWA will at least feel more app-like such as having it's proper icon and whatever advantages it has compared to a "save to home screen" browser shortcut.
Thanks,
Vic

Hi,
1. The requirement that PWA be in HTTPS, will it matter if it has a self-signed certificate (meant for Intranet deployment) ?
2. Will it be limited to native/hybrid/disconnected apps or will it also work with web apps?
3. How does it differ to a web app that was "pasted to home screen" thru the browser considering the all the resource files would have also been downloaded when accessed, assuming no local database access ?

Oops, just missed the Friday webinar. Will check it out once it's published.
Not exactly sure what you meant by keys using mBuild as I don't see any settings for it but I'm sure the webinar will make everything clearer.
Thanks Don!

Also still get Code 404 on .../themes/seven/nettalk-ui.css , despite the file being there and on any theme,
