OK, it sounds like you want to make CGIs. That's pretty easy to
do;
you just make a command-line RB app that parses out the request
headers, does its work, and prints the result to stdout
At this point I'd ask regarding performance considerations. For
example
PHP and other languages are available as FastCGIs. How about RB?
Any performance data available?
Use ElfData if you want a fast CGI. It's perfectly suited for this
sort of thing!
But ElfData doesn't transform an RB CGI into a FastCGI? I suppose you
mean, that
your plugin speeds up the whole application. Right?
It's good for processing strings.
Let's say you want to dynamically generate some strings. Well ElfData
has the FastString class which will really help with that.
HTML is all about string generation, after all.
No, it won't transform an RB CGI into a FastCGI, that's totally out
of my scope :)
RB would make a great "fast cgi" thing though! What with it's
compiled RBScripts. All you need to do is cache the RBScripts so they
don't get recompiled. Unfortunately, RBScript doesn't work with
ElfData :( (or anything external). Unless you want to wrap common
ElfData functions, especially my FastString class.
