Ability to RECEIVE and process GET/REDIRECT requests

Question

This might seem out of scope for dbFront but the purpose would be to enable more complex integrations.

• This might be for already authenticated users who are being redirected back to dbFront after some external processing by a 3rd party. e.g. Payment Provider or Authentication.
• This could be for non-authenticated or anonymous links that perform a special lookup, security check or processing before allowing custom access.

The idea is to enable the crafting of a special URL that is processed by a stored procedure with the stored procedure returning a redirect URL after processing.

The procedure would be responsible for any validation and security.

Answer 1

As of dbFront 1.4.1.0996 you can configure dbFront to accept requests from external providers including anonymous requests.

The request handler can will pass the request to a Stored Procedure which has access to all of the functionality of the database and dbFront via the ProcedureAPI.
