You will have to use Apache + mod_perl + mod_rewrite + Zope. This way, you send the CGI requests to the cgi-bin, and the rest requests to Zope. The details could be somewhat involved. :( (see the following quote in http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html `` Despite the tons of examples and docs, mod_rewrite is voodoo. Damned cool voodoo, but still voodoo. '' -- Brian Moore bem@news.cmc.net ) But it is definitely worth it. And I would guess many people out there actually use this configuration. I guess it is possible for someone to write some Zope product for Perl (a la mod_perl), but it would be major engineering to be fully compatible with Perl. If you don't mind re-launching the Perl interpreter every single time (I know, it's primitive), it's easy to execute the perl command from a Zope external method. For now, the best bet is probably Apache + mod_perl + mod_rewrite + Zope. Hung Jung ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
Hung Jung Lu , Along these same lines, I have a C++ CGI App that I would like to call from zope. It requires a couple of parameters. The app can either return HTML or I can have it save the output to a text file. Ultimately, the text will need to be displayed to the user from Zope. Q1. How does one call a C++ CGI program from Zope? Q2. How do you supply the C++ CGI program with "command line" parameters from Zope when making the call?
