Re: [basex-talk] Web application static files
@Christian I'm so sorry. I don't know how this sneaked into the code and especially how I could overlook it for two hours this morning. Maybe because of Friday ... Of course it works as it should. Thanks. @Felix Yes your pattern sounds meaningful and I often used the approach. Nowadays I'm working on a project that is a small web wrapper on some sort of embedded machine and I have to pay attention to disk usage, amount of processes and so on. Thus, no extra webserver this time. Thanks. Best Regards, Marco. On 06/05/2016 17:55, Felix Wolf wrote: Hi Marco, my preferred setup is to use a reverse proxy in front of basex.

Re: [basex-talk] KILL session
Hi George, I did some quick tests, but I didn’t manage to reproduce the problem. Do you think you could build a little self-contained example for us, e.g. in Java, that shows what goes in wrong? Thanks in advance, Christian PS: I’ll be offline from May 7-21, so it might take a while for me to give you an answer.

Re: [basex-talk] Web application static files
Hi Christian, I tried the approach of serving static web resources from RestXQ. First I encountered a problem related to my js files being served to the browser as b64 encoded and the browser isn't able to interpret the script. So I modified the code in order to recognize text resources and apply file:read-text but then the < are escaped to < and again the browser complains with syntax errors. What am I missing here? I'm trying with the latest snapshot, btw. This is the code I'm using declare %rest:path("/dasbox/ui/resources/{$resource=.+}") %rest:GET %output:method("html") function ui:resources($resource as xs:string){ let $path := file:base-dir() || 'resources/' || $resource let $mediatype := web:content-type($path) return ( web:response-header(map { 'media-type': $mediatype }), if (matches($mediatype, "^text/.+")) then file:read-text($path) else file:read-binary($path) ) }; Thanks for your support, Marco.

[basex-talk] KILL session
I'm trying to create an environment where I can have mutliple BaseX Servers, and I can run 2-3 complex queries on them at a time. However, I want to have the ability to stop a running XQuery script for any reason. I assumed that's what would happen if I KILL the session using a BaseX client. However when I try to KILL a session I have the following issues: 1) BaseX client freezes and I have to CTRL-C to stop it 2) The session I try to kill is removed from the list, but the process continues to run. I have to force kill -9 the basex server for it to stop. Should I report this as a bug or is there another way to kill the running scripts? Thanks
