Hi guys/gals,

I don’t know if anyone can answer this, and this post may belong in a  
[VB.Net](http://VB.Net) forum, but my question is more for lighttpd. I have a .net app  
that sends a HTTPWEBREQUEST to the webserver. Then my def saves this  
hit to a mysql db. In webrick, this works fine, but not in lighttpd. I  
was wondering if anyone has ever done this or does anyone know if  
lighttpd does not accept web requests from another application? The  
reason I am using lighttpd is because I have to use the https portion.  
The .net is actually supposed to communicate with https, but I can’t  
even get the http portion to work so that will be my next problem. Any  
help would be appreciated. Also, using lighttpd, is there a debugger  
similar to ‘breakpoint’ in webrick?
