Hi All

I want to create reports in a module using Fastreports and export it to PDF,  I have no problem with creating and exporting report but I need help on how to return a url that links to the PDF file, to the client.  Can someone give me an example of how to do this in a module.

Thanks
Godfrey

I'm putting up a new video shortly on creating web server modules.

Do you have a web server module already started ?  If so, then post it and I'll modify it to show how it's done.

Normally, with dynamic requests you would want to just return the PDF as response content to the request.  That alleviates the issue of having a temporary directory and not allowing just anyone to view the contents of the directory through "exploration".
