ActiveVFP 5.53 only Change Log
-Take TraceLog out of Web.config

ActiveVFP 6.03 is essentially the same as ActiveVFP 5.53 but adds the following features:
1.)Scriptmapping capability such as http://localhost/demo/sessionlist.avfp instead of http://localhost/demo/default.aspx?action=sessionlist. You can also use your own custom scriptmap instead of .avfp (simply edit Web.Config)
2.)AVFP Scripts are moved front and center to the root application directory.
3.)ASP.NET is still used but an HTTPhandler in the Integrated Pipeline mode is used instead of default.aspx.
4.)Extensionless URLs/MVC/RESTful API
5.)Performance should see a boost as well.

This is a first rate way of using FoxPro skills to place a good looking secure website on the net. The use of multi-threading is nothing short of ingenious. Imagine, the power of the best db development platform delivered to the internet. Talk about speed! WOW! Congrats on the superb application, Claude. Grady
