Here are some ideas: - Demonstrate the ability to write protocol handlers in mp2 by creating a server that speaks something other than HTTP. The only trouble is, I'm having a hard time coming up with a scenario where I would really advise using a different protocol... - Build a better DBD::Proxy by making it use XML-RPC or SOAP (or teach mp2 to speak PlRPC with a protocol handler!) and talk to an Apache::DBI-enabled server. This should be much faster than the current system which doesn't use persistent connections, and would allow all the standard apache logging and access control stuff to be used. - Use an mp2 filter to do something that would have been impossible before, like efficiently post-processing a PHP script (which also demonstrates that PHP has no access to the apache API). - Use an mp2 filter to apply an XSL transform to some XML content. - Use an mp2 filter to automate some of the cache control suggestions from Michael Radwin's OSCON talk: http://public.yahoo.com/~radwin/talks/http-caching.htm - Use an mp2 filter to implement cookie-less sessions by rewriting URLs and adding hidden fields to forms. - Write a handler that fetches content from CVS or Subversion, with the branch to use being set by a cookie or URL param or virtualhost name. This would be for content people working on version-controlled websites to use. If I think of more later, I'll post them. - Perrin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
