[Mono-list] wishlist

[Rein Petersen]

I've only dreamed of using *nix in my web farm application but I have a few needs to to contend with before I could. For one, a data provider that mimics SQLXML managed classes would be a huge advantage. Microsoft built their SQLXML managed classes using TDS and I believe I know approximately how they have done it. Secondly, I'd need the ability to write modules and handlers (and register them in web.config's would be nice). Also, a couple of shortcomings MS has would be nice to overcome: for example, impersonation is great but it the impersonated user requires all the permissions to allow the dynamic compilation of the code. This is a security risk and makes the use of impersonation unfeasible in many ways. It would be nicer if a section of code could be run in context of the logged (or specifed) user and the rest of the code, including the compilation, runs as the normal ASPNET system user. Or, maybe it would make more sense to specify which user account context is used when complilation is performed... Rein
