RE: [Zope] - Authenication problems when on webhost?
For those of us who have to use a webhosting service we are at the mercy of what they (the webhost) will permit and what is required configuration wise by Zope.
There are several ISP's whose servers support HTTP_AUTHORIZATION, including Hiway, RapidSite, and a number of regional telcos who outsource their hosting through Hiway/RapidSite.
Hurrah for Hiway and RapidSite! I've always thought it shameful for the consumer to be at the "mercy" of their webhost. Perhaps Digital Creations should showcase a list of Zope-friendly site hosting services, starting with a link to RapidSite. Regards, Jeff Bauer Rubicon, Inc.

I would heartily second that. It is a good thing to know where you are will support what you are doing. A webhost who understand Zope, PCGI and it's LRPs and allows them is a great benefit to the community. Jimmie Houchin

Yes, I can understand the paranoia though. import os while 1: os.fork() A trivial fork bomb, but there are a million others. Please don't mistake my comment as a request to start a discussion on hack techniques.

Yes. Got any money? :)

FWIW, the code above won't work (for long) on a Hiway/RapidSite server. The system watchdog processes will kill off every process associated with your user ID long before you reach a number of processes that would make the box hiccup. One of the reasons I've been interested in LRP architectures and programming environments (like ZOPE) which encourage their use, is that memory usage is one of the main bottlenecks in loading up servers with webhosting accounts that have any kind of applications running. Fewer processes = less VM overhead = more customers/box = less capital and overhead costs = more profit. That's the theory, anyway. The practice of actually getting there is fraught with such things as the need for processes to die off when not in use, fair-share CPU slicing, and so on. Ugh.

Ah, security risks. Being a naive end-user who is not a security risk, who is not accustomed to thinking about malicious users. It is something I will have to learn though. :(

Ahh! The (almost) universal solution. More money would solve alot of my problems. I would be co-locating in a heart-beat. :) One day though, it'll come. Jimmie Houchin
