access cvsweb thru Zope
Hi, I'm trying to find a way to use perl cvsweb CGI script via Zope. The main reason for this - use powerful auth means that Zope has. Our CVS repository is partitioned on project basis using standard UNIX mechanism (owner/group/perm). So I can't simply run cvsweb from anonymous user --- it won't has required permissions. I (probably) need to auth user first (thru Zope) and then run cvsweb.cgi from that user. Does anyone do something similar? Is it possible at all? AFAIU I should grok External Method first. -- Rgrds, Max Ischenko

I'm trying to do something similar, but I don't know what I'm doing. I've tried to call the CGI link with dtml-with and dtml-var, no soap. I think a frameset would work, but I don't want to do that if I don't have to. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...

I tried develop even an Zope product, which is in deep alpha stage somewhere in my FTP: no cookies support, no user any interface, etc. But it even works. Sometimes. :)
P.S. CGI is legacy stuff IMHO. -- Bogdan M.Maryniuck

Okay, I'll bite -- what's a better way to call an external binary? The task is to develop a web interface to programs like tcptraceroute. thanks, -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...

External Method, of course. It's even better: in security meaning CGI is outsider IMHO. -- Bogdan M.Maryniuck

Look here: self.ZopeContext.REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER -- Microsoft merges technologoies: Windows CE + Windows ME + Windows NT = Windows CEMENT Sincerely yours, Bogdan M.Maryniuck
