NGINX wrapper for Omnis CGI
Hi,
It is not compulsory to have the cgi exe nor the apache module to talk to Omnis through a webserver, A simple proxy is
enough with Apache or any webserver (nginx, node, etc…)
#apache proxy syntax for regular Omnis on the same host listening to port 5981
# try me with myserver/omnis?OmnisLibrary=lib&OmnisClass=rtask
ProxyPass 127.0.0.1:5981
ProxyPassReverse 127.0.0.1:5981
#apache proxy syntax for restful Omnis on the same host listening to port 5981
# try me with myserver/omnisrest/lib/rtask/mymethod
ProxyPass 127.0.0.1:5981/api
ProxyPassReverse 127.0.0.1:5981/api
As the matter of fact, the Omnis cgi or module are empty shells that passes the http environment to Omnis. The only
thing that’s in there and not in Omnis, is some error messages that deal with “Omnis is not there” and stuff like that,
and are a little bit mode informative than the proxy ones (which will probably always return http 503 for every problem.
