Ok, I run VolanoChat Pro 2.1, the latest version, on my home computer with JVM as a platform. This chat uses a membership database which I simply cannot understand. I've asked a few people about it, and it only uses three simple scripts (which can be written in any language) to check membership details about a user trying to login to the chat. I prefer to use a SQL database with any type of script... problem is, I don't understand how to write these scripts. The chat applet sends out a user defined http GET request.. something like:
http://yourdomain.com/member?name={0} where {0} is the membername.
This accesses the scripts which check the SQL databases to see if the membername is taken, blah blah.
Can someone help me write these 3 simple scripts? If anybody wants to look at the documentation for the VolanoChat Pro servers, they are available at:
http://www.volano.com/guide21/index.html
This means the world to me, and anybody who can help me understand this weird script, would be greatly appreciated !!!
Thanks
