ZPublisherClientHotfix Unfortunately, it is not always possible to do everything in Zope. Sometimes, one needs to interface with another webserver and/or an external cgi program. The ZPublisher Client included with the standard zope distribution fetches and returns pages using the http protocol. This product extends the ZPublisher Client in the following directions: * adds "https://" support if your python has been built and installed with the "Socket module compiled with SSL support" option. * adds "file://" external CGI program support by subclassing (and modifing some behavior of) the CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler included in the standard python library. This handler allows zope to fork (non-fork methods are available for non-unix platforms) a child process for executing and returning the result of an external CGI program. * adds a new "helper" method ProxyClient to be used when the ZPublisher Client is acting as a proxy for the original zope request. ProxyClient will extract information from the zope request object (if given as an argument) and then invoke the normal Client method with the extracted information. The extracted information includes items such as the request method, form data, cookies, REMOTE_ADDR, REMOTE_HOST, etc. Please see http://www.zope.org/Members/natsukashi/Products/ZPublisherClientHotfix for further details.
