Hi Vlad,
I like the idea but I would abstain from voting, because I think I personally
would write a shellscript for it and make use of "wget" or "curl". Those
tools offer tons of options, e.g.
- http, https, ftp (active/passive mode) support
- certificates, passwords; http digest authentication
- http proxy support
- tls, ssl
- different retry and timeout parameters
- server response can be logged etc.
So this would not have to be maintained in the core. You need some logic
anyway that deals with failed connections, so this is - in my opinion - the
part of the startup script.
BTW, such a script could be placed into the contrib section (Would be nice
anyway to have examples for different distros, I will soon add one for SuSE)
No vote against it from me, but I would implement it with external tools.
In case of multiple servers sometimes it it is easier to maintain and
provision when config files are stored locally. I used to have server
software that load config file on startup over HTTP and i would see that
a usefull feature for naviserver as well. Image that you start it as
nsd -t http://server:80/nsd.tcl
and it will get the config file from the central server that will
provide what is necessary, even on-the fly generating some config
parameters. We have HTTP facility in the core, so it is easy to call it
to retrieve the config and continue as usual.
Of course there is a posibility that it will not be able to connect and
thus will not be able to run but this can be handled by keeping last
copy of config and load it in case of network issues.
Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
