fcl-web/fpWeb  -- cannot invoke different actions

Hi All,
I am trying to set multiple actions on a CGI app without success -
only one action is triggered according to the setting in the OnRequest
property of the object (looks like properties defined in actions are
not considered).
Please advise what I am not doing right.
Basically regardless of how I am calling the action, the default
OnRequest action is triggered.
http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/test01.cgi/customers/Read
http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/test01.cgi/customers/Hour

If the OnRequest action is left unpopulated there is an error in the
response from the web server.

Attached please find the code and screen captures from Object
Inspector.

Environment:
OS: Windows XP 32 bits
Lazarus 1.2
Apache 2.0.65.200
fpweb\weblaz.lpk - 0.0

Thank you,

I'm not an expert on fpweb at all but am still working on a RESTful
server.

I've got
Code: [Select]  Application.AllowDefaultModule:=false; //all URLs must
include the module name (image, document..)
  { If there is only 1 element in the URL, like the "something" in
    http://localhost/cgi-bin/something
    treat it as a module by setting PreferModuleName.
    Otherwise it would have been treated like an action.
  }
  Application.PreferModuleName:=true;
and then use various modules like this
Code: [Select]initialization
  // This registration will handle http://server/cgi-
bin/tigercgi/image/*
  RegisterHTTPModule('image', TFPWebimage);
end.
and
Code: [Select]initialization
  // This registration will handle http://server/cgi-
bin/tigercgi/document/*
  RegisterHTTPModule('document', TFPWebdocument);
end.

I basically do everything in code in those modules
