Azure RTOS webserver, CGI callback table

Question

I am new to Azure RTOS, it seems like a very nice package with a lot of built-in features.
I am especially looking into the webserver part of Netx duo.
From the examples I have been able to find, it seems that the implementation of the webserver is very low level.
No API support for separating html files and dynamic data being inserted into them while they are being populated and sent back to the client browser.
I have seen the use of registering callback functions for special tags in the html code, to solve this.
Azure RTOS is a mature product, maybe I am looking in the wrong places ?
Best regards Brian

Answer 1

Hi Brian,

You are correct, the only webserver functionality we have is in https://github.com/azure-rtos/netxduo/blob/master/addons/web/nx_web_http_server.c. It's very simple.

Answer 2

Hi Scott,

Thanks for you answer on this subject.
Realtimelogic advocates making SPA's (Single Page Applications using websockets) especially when also wanting to leverage TLS.
I guess this makes sense due to the overhead added by TLS in the connection establishment, and the fact that browsers tend to open multiple connection
to the device. I am using STM32F207/407's microcontrollers in my projects, and although they are quite powerfull, they are still limited in regards to RAM.

So far I have been using a competing stack (without SSL), and it has worked well.
I am trying to evaluate if it makes sense to switch over to Azure RTOS, so any comments are very welcome ?

Aside from Realtimelogic, does Azure RTOS have a similiar solution as a payed add-on ?

Thanks
