OpenInsight provides a script engine often referred to as the OECGI (OpenEngine Common Gateway Interface). This plug-in enables web server software products such as Microsoft IIS, Apache HTTP Server, or Aprelium Abyss Web Server, to hand off HTTP requests to be processed by OpenInsight stored procedures.

The SRP HTTP Framework can work with OpenInsight 9.x or higher. Older versions of OpenInsight might work but they will not be supported.

OpenInsight 9.x ships with OECGI3.exe. While this version of the OECGI3.exe is fine for normal INET or O4W based web applications, it does not work well for REST based APIs. Therefore, OECGI4.exe (v4.0.0.3 or later) is required to work properly with the SRP HTTP Framework.

Here is a known list of resolved issues in OECGI4.exe:

  • Support for the PUT method.
  • Support for the DELETE method.
  • Support or the PATCH method.
  • Support for raw POST and PUT content rather than assume it is always form-data.

OECGI4.exe can be renamed as OECGI3.exe to make it easier to retrofit into existing systems. SRP can make a copy of OECGI4.exe available, but Revelation Software is the official source of all OpenInsight components. The version we have might not be the most recent release and it might not be the final version one that will ship with OpenInsight 10.0.

requires OECGI v4 (aka OECGI4) in order to run properly. This version ships automatically with OpenInsight 10 but OpenInsight 9 only ships with OECGI3. Fortunately, Revelation Software have made the OECGI4 available to subscribers as a Works Download. This download includes the OECGI4.EXE Quick Start Guide.pdf document that will help get the OECGI4 installed properly. If you are not a WORKS subscriber but are using the SRP HTTP Framework, please contact us at support@srpcs.com and we'll work with you to secure a copy.

Both the 103-960 OECGI3.EXE Quick Start Guide.pdf and OECGI4.EXE Quick Start Guide.pdf documents provideinstructions for enabling Microsoft IIS. If you need assistance with IIS, or any other web server software, then SRP is available for consulting. Please reach us at support@srpcs.com if you would like to discussPlease note that OECGI4.exe is not officially released software and therefore is not yet supported by Revelation Software. SRP believes that the product is stable as we have been using it in multiple web applications since 2015.
