It uses a database backend to store all information. WPKG includes direct support to read the XML files using HTTP protocol (using basic authentication). This is quite efficient as WPKG just needs to fetch the XML files using HTTP instead of connecting to a CIFS share to open several files (which can be quite inefficient). I made good experience even on slow VPN connections using WPKG WEB and HTTP access while I was not really satisfied with access speed of CIFS shares over slow VPN connections. See config.xml and wpkg.js parameters to read more about how wpkg.js can fetch XML files from HTTP URLs. The "new" WPKG WEB could probably support the same interface too (which is a nice-to-have feature). br, Rainer |
