Hello Knotters!

Steve Piercy took an interest in Knop for 9 and immediately ran into problem. His goal was really simple. He wanted to run the provided demo project on Lasso 9 using virtual URLs.

Turns out that the state of Knop did not allow that. One major obstacle was that the support for virtual URLs did not work.

He also found a number of other smaller issues with the way the different types and methods are called in the demo.

We have worked our way thru the framework code piece by piece (Piercy by Piercy... hihi) and hopefully found and fixed all outstanding issues.

So anyway, I can now announce that Knop for Lasso 9 works with the standard demo project created for Lasso 8.X. (Finally... some might say)

There are some minor changes needed to be done with the demo code itself. But I'd say 99% of the code is the same as in Lasso 8 and I also assume that the changes to the demo will work in Lasso 8.5/6 as well.

The way virtual urls are setup differs. When used on a fairly modern version of Apache all that's needed in the Apache config file is one line:

FallbackResource /urlhandler.lasso # or whatever your target file is called.

There is also no need for an atbegin handler. Urlhandler.lasso can basically consist of one line as well:
<?LassoScript
include('/index.lasso') // or whatever path and file that's relevant for your setup
?>

Steve is undertaking a move of the code base from SVN at Google to Github. Pending that the latest versions of the Knop files are still available on Google code.
https://knop.googlecode.com/svn/branches/knop9rewrite

I'm sure Steve will let us know when we can start using Github instead.

The tweaked demo project is not in place in the repo. Probably won't be until the move to Github. If anyone is interested in it let me know and I'll post it to you.
