*Afaik*, ZPublisher is not technically an HTTP server -- it's the thing that publishes Zope. It does not serve HTTP socket requests; rather, it serves object requests. An external web server must convert HTTP requests into ZPublisher requests, and response must be translated back into valid HTTP responses. So essentially you can build any kind of server around ZPublisher, such as FTP or WebDAV (which is what ZServer does). Or at least that's my take on the subject :-) -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." --Philip K. Dick

Note that at the moment, you cannot edit errors which happen in ZPublisher, such as Bad Request, Unauthorized and (perhaps most annoyingly) 404 Not Found. There are proposals on the table to add hooks to the publisher to hook into standard_error_message, but there are no resources to commit to the project. This would be an excellent contribution. It's not as easy as it sounds, but not intensly difficult either.

I'm a little confused (no change there!). I know that ZopeHTTPServer is not being developed any more and that more dev. effort is going into ZServer. We also have ZPublisher. Three servers! more choice than you can shake a stick at!
As I understand it, ZServer is medusa based (www.nightmare.com) and is red-hot in terms of performance.
So then my question is: why use ZPublisher at all?
confused-ly, Tone.
