Hi, 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"... Andy Smith wrote:
Hi All,
I'd like to begin a thread on the list to try to gain a consensus as to what the needs of Zope users are w.r.t Web Servers. The DC guys, being understandably very busy at the moment, thought it might be preferable if someone else tried to elicit some opinions/feedback on the topic.
A couple of issues that could be thrown into the mix ...
o With ZopeHTTPServer supplied as part of Zope anyway, should support for Apache be that high a priority?
o Does the average Zoper actually use the preconfigured Apache ... or does he/she use the installation to figure out how to configure an existing server.
o How can pcgi be used to best effect? Would an apache mod_pcgi be useful?
o How can Apache's proxy handler be leveraged to accomplish integration between it and Zope?
o What are the security issues, both filesystem and authentication/encryption, that people are facing?
o How can medusa be used to best effect?
o Is anyone working on any Apache/Webserver related projects that may be relevant to the thread?
o Would anyone *like* to be working on any Apache/Webserver related projects that may be relevant to the thread? ;)
o [ Also insert 9,10,11... which are relevant but I've failed to include ]
The purpose of this exercise will be to provide DC (and the Zope community at large) an idea of how people are currently accessing zope, what they want, where effort should be directed, and also where effort *is* currently being directed by the community, so as to avoid re-inventing wheels ;)
The floor is open!
Cheers,
Andy.
