From: James Sentman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [ANNOUNCE] acgi dispatcher 1.1 for Mac OS X Richmond, VA - Monday, July 1st, 2002. Acgi dispatcher allows you to write cgi programs in AppleScript that can be run with the Apache web server that is built in to Mac OS X. Version 1.1 enables you to send any response type, not just an http "OK" message. You can now send errors, or redirects. Many OS9 scripts tried to send this header, requiring you to edit those scripts before they would work on OSX. Now any script or program that worked under OS9 should work un-altered on OSX with acgi dispatcher 1.1. All events to scripts are now handled asynchronously giving you better performance under load and when running multiple scripts at the same time. In addition to providing the "on handle cgi request" handler for regular acgi Apple Scripts, acgi dispatcher also supports applications that need to be called via the "Launch At Suffix" mapping which is used by pre-processors. Acgi dispatcher will happily send these events to programs running either as Mac OS X applications or applications running in the classic environment. Applications running multi-threaded via the "send partial" event are also fully supported. With the addition of the new header support many legacy OS9 cgi applications can be moved to OSX today. While still running in classic they will pick up significant benefits in reliability and speed when used with Apache. Acgi dispatcher adds several apple script commands to ease the transition to OSX such as pack/unpack CGI variables, url encode/decode and base64 encode/decode. The package includes a fully functional iTunes remote control script as a demonstration. Acgi dispatcher costs $15 USD for a home or educational user and $35 for a commercial license. Site licenses are also available. Acgi dispatcher requires at least Mac OS X 10.1.3.
