I think going with a language "X" based config system will just give us more horrible questions and make it even harder to trouble shoot things like request X works but request Y doesn't. You might as well provide a building block method and the config c based, will scare off the more casual users just like lua and only allow the oncs who know what they are doing write a decent configuration. (ok that last one is maybe a bit over exaggerated but going pure program language based is a very big learn before usage curve) Jorge > Mod_rewrite goes away, which is a good thing :) > > -- > Brian Akins > Chief Operations Engineer > Turner Digital Media Technologies > >
