Somewhat out of date, incomplete, and disorganized, yes. Wildly so, or non-existant, no. My guess is you're looking in the wrong place.

IMNSHO that is an incredibly bad reason to use C, especially with AOLserver, and especially if you plan to write code using AOLserver on an ongoing basis. One of Tcl's advantages is that it is very easy for a good programmer to pick up quickly. A few days for basic competence, a harder to pin down amount of time for true mastery. It's harder to pin down, as it depends more on what sort of problems you've tackled - e.g., how much you've played with eval - than simply on how long you've used Tcl. > If I'm going to use an interpreted language, I may > end up using Apache 2.0 with MPM=worker and mod_perl, Someone started work on a Perl binding for AOLserver on SourceForge, but AFAIK it was alpha and no one has touched it for years now. The Standard ML and Python bindings were much further along, and Scheme and Ruby probably were as well. But AFAIK no one is currently using any of those. The PHP (definitely) and Java (I think) bindings work and do get some use. Oh, and Vlad Seryakov might actually be using OCaml with AOLserver, not sure. http://www.panoptic.com/wiki/aolserver/165 > I have figured out how to use Ns_RegisterRequest, and > Ns_ConnGetQuery, but it appears that clean access to > uploaded files is limited to Tcl. In C, the Ns_Set You could always simply call the Tcl APIs from C. Not the most efficient way of doing things, but then it shouldn't be any SLOWER than just using the Tcl APIs from Tcl in the first place, so it should be fine. -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com/ -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
