Hi I have an xpages app that I have built using the mobile extension library controls. The ap works fine if you go straight to the notes server but as soon as we use netscaler to access we are getting errors accessing the extention libarary files. We have tracked it down to not being able to access these “/xsp/.ibmxspres/dojoroot-1.6.1/dojo/dojo.js or whatever is in or around there.
For this post http://www.intec.co.uk/domino-8-5-3-greater-power-over-dojo-thanks-ibm-for-your-work/ it looks like these files use the new OSGi plugin functionality and are contained in a jar file on the server rather than as separate files on the domino server. Any idea how we can get the citrix gateway to see these files and use them?
Thanks
Mel
Seems like a Netscaler configuration problem to me. If the manuals don't help, ServerFault might be the better place to ask this question. As a wild guess: /. might be blocked by default since ../../../ is a popular path-traversal attack vector. Let us know how it goes

I'm still kind of new in programming and I'm not quite sure that this is the place to ask this question, but I can't find anything worthy on the Internet. Sorry on first place but I'm truly lost. All I can find is "just use wordpress" and things like that.
I'm trying to make a website from zero with HTML and CSS, and there I would have the front end. I know a little bit of backend but I'm still learning. The real question is: how do you mesh up all of this and put it on the Internet so others can see it? I know you have to buy a domain and so, but how do you put it all together? What do you exactly do with your server-side code if what you "upload" is the HTML code? Are there any good books on the subject or something so I can study it on my own?
Thanks in advance.
Read about web frameworks like Spring in Java or Django in Python. Start with a lecture of these to grasp a notion of backend and frontend working together:

EDIT
And don't forget to read about the MVC pattern.
If all you want to know is how to publish an html/css project to make your website live then you need a domain, hosting account, your project files, and an FTP program.
Buy a domain and hosting account through a website like godaddy. Once you have that then you basically have your own little server. A server is just a machine thats on 24/7 which holds your project and makes the files live on the internet for people to view.
Once you create your project, then use ftp software such as filezilla to connect to your server. Drag your project into the public_html folder and your website will be live!
I think the word you are looking for is "web server." Examples of web servers are Apache, nginx, and IIS. A web server is a computer program.
A simple web server is sometimes called a "static web server."
To see a bit how this works, you can install a static web server like http-server on your computer (which requires Node.js to run), point it at a directory, and browse the site on your own PC.
So if you have a folder called "my-site" and a file in it called "index.html" and you ran the http-server in the my-site folder, and you went to http://localhost:8080, you would see "index.html" in your browser.
To put all this on the internet:
First, if you have an internet connection at home then you could technically set something up on your laptop that people could connect to. I won't get into it here because it's a little involved, but I think it's important conceptually to understand that you could do it if you wanted to.
You need to get access to a web server. A relatively fast way to set this up would be with zeit.
I have used several solutions like Berkelium project, CEfSharp, awesomium.net, The Web application i built constitutes of Javascipts, xml, CSS. When I used these solutions for files published on server they properly work out but when i give path like (file:///path) it stops responding.
Depending on your needs as alternatives to file:// maybe look at either:
Implementing a SchemeHandler as showcased by both the CefSharp.WinForms.Example and WPF ditto.
Maybe even an OWIN married with CEF implementation, like Harley
or see this other answer: Ajax not working in CefSharp based WebView with local files
I have a hosted page on Microsoft Azure Web Sites (Shared) and have verified that PHP is enabled and working but I am not able to call PHP in an .html document. Is there any way to enable this?
Searched high and low on this one, sorry if it is a duplicate.
This drove me nuts too, documentation in so many areas is poor. I had the same problem last week.
Here is the fix:
On the management console of the site, under configure, scroll to Handler Mappings.
In handler mappings, in the first box, type *.html
In the second box type D:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.4\php-cgi.exe
Save, then restart the instance. It will now process PHP inside HTML files.
One small thing, which I didn't realise till after as well. I instantly assumed, 5.5 is the latest and greatest, so why wouldn't I just update to 5.5 and use that engine. You can, and changing the folder structure to read 5.5 works, however the 5.5 build on Azure doesn't have PDO for SQL Server which makes connecting to a native SQL database a nightmare. So 5.4 is the best build IMO until they include that as well.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: Not sure if this is applicable to shared, I am using a small instance, but logic should be the same I would have thought.
I'm in the process of deploying an xpages 8.5.3 app which users the xpages ext library.
Internally the app is working great, but for our ipad users to access it they need to go through a citrix gateway. It appears that the gateway is not allowing a couple of the files through. We are getting and error.
Could not load 'extlib.dijit.DynamicContent'
The network guys have found details that indicate it might be the way that the path's are defined in the Java script some use () and other use []. I need to know which one you use in domino to access the built in ext script libraries. Does anyone know?

I had the same problem. I ended up publishing the application as an App instead of a website. It was a change in how the app is deployed but it seemed to work. I know, not the answer you were looking for... If you do find an answer I am very interested in hearing it.
I'm going to need to push and pull files from a SharePoint site that is not hosted by my company (it is external). I'm only going to get a few days (if that) to get this working so I don't have much time to experiment.
To add to my requirements/headaches, I'm going to have to implement this with VBScript. .Net would be preferred for me but for reasons beyond my control I have to use VBScript. I don't have direct access to my VBScript web server, so I won't be able to implement this in .NET and use that object from VBScript.
I'm looking for anything that would help me accomplish this goal quickly and effectively. I found this post and am wondering if the PUT/GET method used here would work for me?
http://weblogs.asp.net/bsimser/archive/2004/06/06/149673.aspx (I got this link from: Sharepoint API - How to Upload files to Sharepoint Doc Library from ASP.NET Web Application)
To top all of this off, I've never done any programming or administration of a SharePoint site. My knowledge of SharePoint is that of a user. I'm aware that there is an API from the few Google searches I did. However, my readings make me believe that my code would need to run on or in proximity to the SharePoint server. I don't believe I have the proximity I need to use the API.
Sincere thank yous!

Frank
Progress Update: I'm still researching this. Tom pointed out that the example I had posted is probably from an old SharePoint version. His recommendation to use .Net to develop a prototype on Web Services is good but I'm hoping for more detailed answers.
I'm now wondering if I can accomplish what I need to accomplish using HTTP PUT and GETs. At my company, for a specific project we do use HTTP PUT and GETs to do something like this. We have files that are stored on an HTTP server and this is how we post and retrieve them.
Would this work over SharePoint or would SharePoint require special handling? Basically, do I have to use Web Services?
Progress Update 2: This link is helpful... Upload a file to SharePoint through the built-in web services
But I am still looking for more information on this topic... Thanks all...
You'll need to use the sharepoint lists web service for metadata and get/put for uploads. That link looks to be for SharePoint 2001, so hopefully you can use the newer/simpler version.
I recommend building something in .net first to get the web service calls worked out - some of the parameters can be quite tricky to debug, and I wouldn't want to be doing that on a remote vbscript page.
Assuming there is no metadata required and the SharePoint library is being used like a file server you can do most of what you want with PUT/GET, but you will probably need a call to GetListItems to find the urls to download.
There's an example on my blog of a lower level call to that web service - it's javascript, but probably close enough.

What setting up the .net version gets you is very quick set up of a connection to the server (just add a web service reference in visual studio) so you can get the query and queryoptions strings working to retrieve the items you want. Once that works you just have to put it all together as a string including the soap stuff for use without all the nice tools.
I'm a little unclear on the context of the implementation and the prerequisite of having to use VBScript. Are the files being moved from one server to another server or from a user's desktop to this SP server? or are they being accessed via software like Excel?
The first thing that sprang to my mind (this may sound crazy) was using the Office application to make the connection. Your script would call up Excel (just as an example) and pass it the vba needed to initiate the Open File, and then provide the full path to the file that needs to be retrieved. Then have it do a Save As to the location that needs the file. Do the same thing but in reverse for putting files on the SharePoint server.
The tricky part, obviously, is getting the script to interface with the Office app. I know this can be done with the Windows version of PHP, but I don't want to get into anything specific without knowing your situation.
I seriously wonder if you are going to be able to use VBScript to call the SharePoint web services. I haven't looked at the SharePoint web services for a while so I don't remember exactly how they are defined. I thought the web services were SOAP calls though which makes it trickier than
I'm not sure I tried to use Excel to call some web services with the MSSOAP.SoapClient and it seemed this component was unable to handle any WSDL types beyond the very simple strings. Anything with nested data would not work. Instead, you would need to create a COM object to process the conversion which is a major hassle. If you are able to use XMLHTTP component then it might be possible with VBScript, but I'm not sure if it will work with SharePoint web services.
I'm not sure what you mean, "I don't have direct access to my VBScript web server." Is your web server in VBScript (ASP)? Or did you mean SharePoint server?
You might consider C# Script (cs-script) as a scripted solution that uses .NET. I have had good success with it, although it does need to be installed on the computer that runs the script.
I'm integrating between two companies. According to this book, we should use AD FS to accomplish what I'm looking for.
I still don't actually have this working though so if someone has more information I will change the answer to this question.

I never really received a answer to this that worked out but this is no longer an issue for me.
What we ended up doing is scraping the html. In effect, we put together our own ad-hoc web service processor where instead of SOAP, html is used to communicate. Then we execute GETs, POSTs, and etc to work with the web service.
We had done something similar in VBScript in for WebDAV -- we had a class and created a new one to work with SharePoint.
