Limitations and Known Issues

AcuToWeb has the following limitations or known issues:

• ActiveX controls and .NET controls are not supported by AcuToWeb in the context of a user interface; however, using the CREATE verb to instantiate an ActiveX control with no UI, or using CREATE to instantiate a .NET assembly with no UI should continue to work.

• AcuToWeb does not support AcuConnect encryption or compression. If one or both of those features are in use they must be deactivated. If you need this functionality, use the AcuToWeb Gateway, which provides gzip (native http/WebSocket compression, native http/websocket compression, turned on by default) and SSL (https/wss).

  See Editing a Gateway Service for details on how to configure SSL connections. SSL is usually needed for connections over a public network, and in such circumstances, it is recommended to have the AcuToWeb Gateway behind a full-flagged web server such as Apache or IIS; see Working with IIS or Apache.

• The AcuToWeb control panel only shows 32-bit AcuConnect services; it will not show 64-bit services. However, as long as the 64-bit AcuConnect service is running, you can still use the AcuToWeb functionality as normal.
• Character screen applications that use double-byte characters may experience some layout differences when running through AcuToWeb as opposed to the standard runtime. You can mitigate against these differences by using DBCS_fixed_table.css when running the application; see Preparing Your Application.
• If you are running the AcuToWeb Gateway from the command line (see Starting and Stopping a Gateway Service), and receive a 'side-by-side' error, you need to install the MS Visual c++ 2008 Redistributable package. (note: it must be the base package, and not a subsequent service pack.)
