Ada Web Server status page

Ada Web Server status page

[Darren Ingram]

Hi

I am trying to get a status page to work within AWS (1.2).
I have my server setup as:
      AWS.Server.Start (Web_Server => WS,
                        Name       => "Status Test",
                        Port => Port, --from command line
                        Max_Connection => 10,
                        Admin_URI => "/status_page",
                        Callback   => status_cb'Access); --call back function

within the call back function i have just made the server return a valid html page when requested, else it returns a 'page not found' page.

When i run the program and request /status_page the program stops with a segmentation error - but works in other cases (eg requesting /index.html).  I have the aws_status.thtm and the .png files within the program directory.
Do i need something in the call back routine to handle the showing of the status page?

Thanks for any help
Darren

1)compile with -g (that's with debug information)
2)gdb yourexecutable
3)when it displays the segmentation error, info stack [enter].
4)send your explicit results to the AWS mailing list mentioned below and
not CLA(comp.lang.ada).

I don't see anything odd about your statement above except that it
doesn't have the default "/Admin-Page" aws string value.

You got that "page not found" message because your admin_uri string
didn't match what you typed into your web browser.  If I do understand
correctly, it is case sensitive for the the uri string.
i.e. the following should display your status page.
http://www.youwebsite.org/status_page

To see exactly how it works checkout the ada_server_protocol_handler.adb
and search for admin_uri.

One more thing read the aws docs concerning the configuration.

Send any other questions to the Ada Web Server Mailing list:

AWS mailing list
AWS@lists.act-europe.fr
http://lists.act-europe.fr/mailman/listinfo/aws

I hope this helps :)
