Hi, One of the most trivial requests that every newbie asks is how to publish their html files stored on their local file system. Right now Zope simply CANNOT do that! (You can upload things via FTP, but then it's a pain to synchronize changes. I know, you can write a python method to do that, you can even use cron to automatically update things, add/delete objects inside your ZODB, etc. etc. But then, I would be a newbie-no-more.) :) Another thing is: one mights to upload files for people to download (things like .exe, .tgz, .tar.gz, .zip, etc.), but right now you have to upload them all into ZODB and make your data.fs file so so big. It would also be ideal if these files could be stored in the file system yet accessible through Zope and HTTP protocol. (Not FTP protocol.) I was looking into SiteAcess, and I think it is a VERY important component of Zope and that it should become part of Zope. In fact, virtual hosting a.k.a. RewriteRule is so important, that I don't understand why Zope still doesn't have it and how people can survive without it. Virtual hosting opens a door of endless possibilities. Here is the URL: http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/SiteAccess/info But the version number now is barely 0.2.0 and I feel uncomfortable to be a guinea pig. :) Is there a time estimate for the release of version 1.0.0? There is a comment from Michel Pelletier that in Zope 2.2 there will be virtual hosting. Is there any time estimate for the release of Zope 2.2.0? regards, Hung Jung ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
