https://www.orthanc-server.com/browse.php?path=/plugin-dicom-web

This release notably features transcoding in WADO-RS, as well as a set of fixes.

Dear Sebastian

A thousand apologies for the delay in responding, I was absent.

The procedure that you published for the installation in Windows is correct, only if the value of the system key BasicAuthLevel is not verified and it has the wrong value, the creation of network access gives an error.

By default, Windows sets the value of the key to “1” and when you continue, step by step the installation you propose gives an error (it happened to me on several different computers). If you enter with the Windows registry editor, look for the key and change the value (as proposed by Windows in the link attached in my comment to use WEBDAV) you can do the perfect installation without problems. By the way, this detail applies to any Windows.

In summary, I would only add to your writing as a first step, verify the value of the key and change it to “2” in the case that this is the default (“1”).

Many greetings

William

Dear William,

Sorry for the delay, and many thanks for your explanations! I have done some reorganization of the WebDAV documentation so as to include stuff related to “BasicAuthLevel” in a dedicated section, I hope this clarifies things:

We kindly acknowledge our industrial partner who sponsored the development of the so-called “smart DICOM C-Echo SCU”, that allows to automatically run a test C-Find SCU request after a C-Echo so as to be sure that the remote DICOM modality accepts queries issued by Orthanc.

Another sponsored feature consists of the “–trace-dcmtk” command-line option that provides access to the full DCMTK logs, which is extremely useful if debugging DICOM network connection issues.

The official Docker images “jodogne/orthanc:1.8.1”, “jodogne/orthanc-plugins:1.8.1” and “osimis/orthanc:20.12.3” are available. The Windows installers will be released in the following days.

2021-02-25 - Orthanc 1.9.1 is out, together with its Windows installers 21.2.0 by Osimis!

Starting with this release, the “DICOM-as-JSON” attachments are not stored explicitly anymore, in order to improve performance and to provide better consistency if the DICOM dictionary changes. This new version also introduces timeouts on a per-modality and per-peer basis, and features several DICOM-related improvements.

Full release notes are available at:
https://hg.orthanc-server.com/orthanc/file/Orthanc-1.9.1/NEWS

2021-04-23 - Orthanc 1.9.2, PostgreSQL/MySQL plugins 4.0 are out, together with their Windows installers 21.4.0 by Osimis!

Starting with these releases, Orthanc will be compatible with multiple writers/readers sharing the same database. One Orthanc server will also manage several connections to PostgreSQL/MySQL, in order to improve performance by adding concurrency. This new feature necessitated a full rewrite of the database engine, so as to replay transactions in the case of collisions. It should enable hospital-wide VNA scenarios.

You can find additional explanations in the Orthanc Book:
https://book.orthanc-server.com/faq/scalability.html#concurrent-accesses-to-the-db-in-orthanc-1-9-2

The upgrade should be totally transparent. We warmly acknowledge the industrial partner of Osimis who sponsored this large-scale development!
