OK. Got it.

Actually, it depends on the problem to be solved. In the case I
mentioned (PHP websites), FastCGI is a must and the FastCGI cache a performance grall.

FastCGI can be useful, even in Ada, if the site has to serve large
quantities of static text and static images, that will make good use of
a FastCGI cache.

But for dynamic sites (without static datas) written without PHP, I
agree that the WebSockets protocol is indeed ideal.

WebSockets is a http1 only protocol. What doesn't matter. In most
dynamic sites, such as business software, http2 or http3 are useless.

OK, PHP doesn’t do WebSockets anyway, so that’s probably OK.

WebSockets is essential for certain kinds of interactivity.

WebSockets is a http1 only protocol.

Apparently not <https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-httpbis-h3-websockets-02.html>.

It's just mandatory if you need maximum performance with PHP.

I deeply dislike PHP but it's a huge part of our business. Yes, it's a
bit schisophrenic.

for shure !

You're teaching me something ! Thank you. So WebSockets /was/, untill recently, a http1 only protocol. I'm probably influenced by our recent
work with Gnoga (https://v22.soweb.io).

Runs on Android/IOS. Does that require an internet web server?

Yes v22.Gui/Gnoga is responsive. Tested with 5" smartphones as old as
Nexus 5 (with a browser more recent than the stock one to handle
websockets). Also tested on 43” 4K ;)

On some iOS devices, the menu bar is slightly offset. I didn't look too
hard. It's a Safari problem. It works fine with Firefox and Chrome.

Does that require an internet web server?

Not necessarily. v22.Gui/Gnoga supports itself X509 TLS https
certificates (tested). However, for various reasons (such as the
possibility of having several web applications on the same instance and
on the same 80/443 input port), in production, I've always chosen to
have a Nginx proxy on the front end, which is also more flexible and
handle automatic switching from http/80 to https/443.

Interesting. How do you compile for Android/IOS?

Incidentally, the screenshot you have for the Tic-Tac-Toe demo seems to be Othello.

Hi Jeffrey,

Interesting. How do you compile for Android/IOS?

There's some confusion, I'm having trouble expressing myself. v22.Gui is
a framework on top of Gnoga, with specific CSS, making it possible to
obtain a responsive and therefore Android/IOS compatible application,
through the smartphone's web browser.

The Ada application with the v22 framework/library is of course
installed on any server/pc.

Incidentally, the screenshot you have for the Tic-Tac-Toe demo seems to
be Othello.

Thanks for reporting this error. I'll correct ASAP.

I misunderstood. Of course a Gnoga web application can be connected to from any
platform with a browser.
