Dear Apache programming fans,
I'm trying to do a web project, hoping to involve not only
java servlets/mod_perl but also java applets as well. Some
of the requirements I didn't know if met by browsers or
servers are:
(1) whether java applets with HTTP tunneling code
(as detailed in "Java Servlets" chapter 10, Karl Moss)
could utilize the browser's ability to do SSL -- like
submit a shttp:// connection in its transfers--and if
so, how could they click okay when the server replies
with a "expired" certificate (meaning no real authenti-
cation with a Certificate Authority but still secure
transaction)...
(2) another question I had was if HTTP tunneling could
benefit from less handshaking as provided by HTTP 1.1
(last I checked was no, since to my understanding the
tunneling was more like standard CGI requests rather
than a request for static data like GIFs and text)...
(3) In the event I want to utilize mod_perl with Apache,
could I utilize the multi-threading for use in this scenario:
Tunnel request with input -> Apache/Apache child ->
mod_perl -> instance of Perl*Apache module ->
a master thread waits for a slave thread to wait for a
concurrent access on a shared data in ram.
Another same request -> Apache/Apache child ->
mod_perl -> (spawn another instance of Perl*Apache module) ->
a master thread waits for a slave thread to wait for a
concurrent access (which may involve multithreading code
usage to cooperate with the other instances of Perl*Apache
modules) on a shared data in ram (same data as shared
by previous Tunnel)?
Are these things possible? Am I getting the plumbing
big pictures right? Any tips and tricks?
*I hope this data sharing technique + tunneling could help
me write a little chat site. the clients are calling from
abroad, a connection from the OUTSIDE of an protected
intranetwork.
Sorry these questions are out of the blue but I'm really
green at this -- perhaps you know some newsgroups or
websites where I can ask more about Apache programming
and java client questions like this.
Thanks!
