Hi all,
No, this is not a question on how to do it. All the how-to's available clearly explain this... it just an informational question and I hope somebody can give me a straight answer.
In reading Jeff Shelton's Python conference summaries (by the way, thanks Jeff for doing this! Now, people who're not able (because of their job, ...) to go to this conference can still pick something up! Great!) I read the following :
In Jim's opinion, the "preferred way" to hook into Apache will soon become FastCGI rather than PCGI.
Well, I can understand that FastCGI is better than PCGI, but I read (and implemented) a how-to of anser (Using Apache with ZServer (Not Zope cgi)) in which he explains the use of ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse. Well, this mehtod looks to me really handy. You use all the positive things, because you can use Apache, but also the fast ZServer.
So, now, you'll understand that I'm a little bit confused. What is now the best way ... using FastCGI or ProxyPass....? What are the differences between the two? What are the pro's and con's?
Would you mind if I "borrowed" your question for a Zope Guru of the Week topic? (assuming it doesn't get answered quickly here). Or perhaps I should be "harvesting" stuff like this (including answers) from the list archives into "prefab" ZGotW questions, just as a searchable reference. -- ========================================================= Tres Seaver tseaver@palladion.com 713-523-6582 Palladion Software http://www.palladion.com
