It's still in development but is fairly stable.
Not to slight this product (which is quite good), but it really doesn't make sense to be serving static content data from Zope or Apache, which are extremely heavy weight processes. Things like thttpd or kernel-httpd running on a high port are much lighter weight, much more performant, and do af ar better job of serving static content than their behemouth brethren. -- J C Lawrence Home: claw@kanga.nu ----------(*) Other: coder@kanga.nu --=| A man is as sane as he is dangerous to his environment |=--

Sorry to be argumentative in my first post, but there is no such thing as 'static content'. I am going to be using Zope to serve a pretty tame website -- not too much traffic, not too much updating -- but it saves me *lots* of time writing repetitive HTML and fixing mistakes made during updates. Any content that changes over time isn't static. ---- The Tao is like a glob pattern: It is masked but always present. used but never used up. I don't know who built to it. It is like the extern void: It came before the first kernel. filled with infinite possibilities. [glyph@twistedmatrix.com]
Apache does a perfectly adequate job, using very few resources, and it supports all the virtual hosts andother features that the site might be using for the zope content. It is certainly easier to have everything contained within Zope and the server that is front-ending zope. As for wanting to expose my kernel to the outside world with kernel-httpd (which I assume is an http daemon running in kernel space), I wouldn't even consider it. I don't like leaving even SSH and port 80 open. --sam J C Lawrence wrote:
