ActiveX on Web page (General questions)

Will the wodSSLTunnel ActiveX work on a web page? If it will, do you have any examples?

Yes it is. But there is small problem - since events are not available, you cannot set Allow=True argument in UserConnecting event.

For this, we set Allow=True by default for connections coming from 127.0.0.1 interface, and set Allow=False by default for all other connections.

So, as long as you're forwarding only localhost connections - it will work. I can create sample for you if needed.

That's great. We are planning on using it for localhost connections, so it won't be a problem. Yes, can you please create a sample for me?

By the way, you have outstanding products.

Thanks

Tm,

sure, give me 2-3 hours for this. This will be HTML, not ASP - do we agree on that?

Agreed. That would be great. Thank you

Just curious, is there a problem using the control with ASP?

Yes, there is a problem in ASP. wodSSHTunnel must be alive when it forwards channels. ASP pages are executed on the server, page is returned to the client, and any objects on ASP pages are killed at the time page is visible on the client - thus wodSSHTunnel is killed too. So, it cannot process connections anymore. This applies to all server-side languages, not only ASP.

In HTML, it's running all the time, until user doesn't close his IE window.

Ok, sample done. Please download wodSSHTunnel again, you will see new HTML sample there.

Bon apetit!
