Hello,

I try to write a CGI Application using LazWeb, but I can't find any
help on LazWeb. I can make a small cgi app with a default action, but
I don't see anywhere how to define action (TFPWebAction) and how to
trigger them. Does anyone know where to find a documentation about
LazWeb, and PageProducers?
Thanks.

There were some discussions in this regard on the forum.

This thread might help a little, though it is a little long

http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,6361.0.html

You can start reading backward from the end (2nd page)
Example programs are included there as a zip file (they need the
patches included there in another zip).

Thank you very much, that is exactly what I was looking for.

I just add a note about using TFPWebAction :  the URL to trigger an
action seems to be of the form

http://www.server.com/cgi-
bin/myfpcgi.exe/WebModuleName/ActionName?param1=value1

like noticed in the bur report here :

If you use the fcl-web files included in that thread (a zip file ->
fcl-web-fixes.zip ), the actions will work like in Delphi:
