Well... I'd like to be able to run both a native Zope and an Apache at the same time, having the one connected to port 80 passing off requests to the other (daisy-chain like) before yielding a 404... or with "active termination", let the last guy on the daisy-chain be responsible for returning the 404 as needed.
This may already be in the cards... but I don't know how to do it. More likely "real tricky"...
We need an http-proxy written in python. I'm interested in this even for reasons independent of Zope(*). I think it was Michael Scharf who requested such a beast on comp.lang.python. My intuition tells me that Andreas Kostyrka would also find it useful, if he hasn't built one already <wink>. (*) Let's save civilization -- filter out Javascript, animated gifs, and a half dozen other bad ideas. An http-proxy could be built with: 1) Threaded python 2) Medusa 3) A minimist asynch select-style server (Medusa on Valium) Item #1 would be limited to versions of Python with thread support. I like the idea of extending Medusa to support http-proxy (excuse my ignorance if it already does) but I'm unclear about Medusa's current status. Has it gone open source, or is its use restricted to Zope? If the former, adding http-proxy capability to Medusa might be the best approach. Best regards, Jeff Bauer Rubicon, Inc.
