Sending a URL

In order to send a request to the Superbase Internet Server, you need only specify the SBHTML.EXE program as the URL and pass in the name of the program file and optional procedure to call. The format uses the dot notation to separate the program and procedure name as follows:

ProgramFile.ProcedureName

For example, the following might serve as an initial page request embedded in an HTML document:

<A HREF="/SERVERDIR/SBHTML.EXE?SBDEMO.MainPage">Superbase Internet Server</A>

When a user clicks on the anchor "Superbase Internet Server", the SBDEMO.SBP program file will be loaded and the MainPage procedure called.

The SERVERDIR directory will depend on how your web-server application is configured. Most servers have security systems to alias directories on the physical disk.
