Is it possible to execute a cgi script (possibly not python) within a dtml document?
There is at least one product that lets you include the data of any other web page in a Zope page. Can't remember the name, but it's been mentioned several times on this list. You could use this to suck data from a cgi URL. Don't know if this is what you're looking for -- I don't imagine that it handles the environment in a very complex way.
Are server side includes possible? And can a web server (say apache) be configured to procces Zope objects as if they are some other type of document that can or should be proccess by the server before being sent to a browser?
Although I can't imagine why you would need to do this (Zope is much better than SSI) I suppose it might be possible. Zope leaves SSI directives in the page, so if you can convince Apache to process pages coming through a ProxyPass or RewriteRule or something then you've got it. Don't know enough about Apache to say how, or if something exists now to do this (I would think so), but you could always write an Apache mod that interferes in the publishing process if nothing exists to help you. (I'm thinking mod_python. Hehe.) --jcc (extensible)
