Alain responds :
1. I am currently using NetPresenz.
2. NetPresenz costs the same as Quid Pro Quo (free).
3. In addition to HTTP, NetPresenz provides for FTP.
Does Quid Pro Quo provide FTP?
4. As for security features, I would have to look into
it. As things are now, I have configured NetPresenz to
use the access priviledges of MacOS's "Users &
Groups".
5. I am not against using Quid Pro Quo, and I am not
particularly fond of NetPresenz. Versatility-wise,
ASIP has been the best web-server-software so far. It
provided HTTP, Mail, News, file-sharing and a few
other things, but its poor to non-existent
configuration options, including its lack of security
features, don't make ASIP the best choice either.
Performance-wise, WebSTAR is un-matched, but it costed
me 500$, and its access priviledges management (realms
and such) is just too quirky. I hear Apache is good
but I haven't migrated to MacOS-X yet.
So the bottom-line of it all is that I still haven't
found what I am looking for, as U2 would sing.
I sometimes fantasize (for lack of a better word)
about creating my very own web-server software ... and
a much better web client too! But then reality hits me
like a ton of bricks. The design, the programming,
etc, ... but also getting the thing adopted by the
public at large. If there is to be any hope of
achieving it, I must equip myself with a very powerful
set of Rapid Application Development tools ... you
guessed it ... I want our OpenCard (shameless plug!).
