Description
int hw_getremote(int connection, int objectID);
Returns a remote document. Remote documents in Hyperwave notation
are documents retrieved from an external source. Common remote
documents are for example external web pages or queries in a database.
In order to be able to access external sources throught remote documents
Hyperwave introduces the HGI (Hyperwave Gateway Interface) which
is similar to the CGI. Currently, only ftp, http-servers and some
databases can be accessed by the HGI.
Calling hw_GetRemote() returns the document from
the external source.
If you want to use this function you should be very familiar with HGIs.
You should also consider to use php3 instead of Hyperwave to access
external
sources. Adding database support by a Hyperwave gateway should be more
difficult than doing it in php3.
