Debugging Applications : Adding debug=on to URL
 

Adding debug=on to URL

The WebSpeed Transaction Server enables you to view information about your Web requests. You can see this information by adding an argument (debug=on) to the URL that you normally use to access your WebSpeed application. For example, if your URL is normally:
http://webserver/cgi-bin/webapp.cgi/login.w
You can turn on all of the debugging options by adding the debug=on argument to the end of the URL. For example:
http://webserver/cgi-bin/webapp.cgi/login.w?debug=on
This runs your login.w program as usual. However, when WebSpeed finishes executing your program, it runs a debugging procedure. The output from this procedure appears in the browser directly below the output of your application. By default, WebSpeed runs the debugging procedure after your application program to minimize any problems with the debugging output affecting the application itself.
