Lets assume I did. Given say nginx + uwsgi + asyncio, you're proposing that there be a uwsgi-asyncio module that listens to the uwsgi socket and demuxes packets from that into something that then exposes a ReadTransport + WriteTransport pair and a Protocol on top of that. That Protocol would have a 1:1 correspondence with a WSGI request, and would *not* be HTTP itself but rather the subset that is exposed via uwsgi? -Rob -- Robert Collins <rbtcoll...@hp.com> Distinguished Technologist HP Converged Cloud _______________________________________________ Web-SIG mailing list Web-SIG@python.org Web SIG: http://www.python.org/sigs/web-sig Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/web-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
