Hi,
I'm probably trying to do something dumb, so bear with me. I have a
web.py application running as the web root under Apache2 + mod_wsgi.
There is another SCGI application (written in C/C++) that I want to
access as well. Apache doesn't allow me to easily configure this kind of
virtual layout using SCGIMount/SCGIHandler:
root = / <-- handled by web.py app
/dir1/ <-- handled by web.py subapp 1
/dir2/ <-- handled by web.py subapp 2
/scgi-passthrough/ <-- scgi service
/static/ <-- static content served by Apache
I see where Alias and ScriptAlias allows Apache to handle certain urls
as static content or cgi processes respectively. I've even found a
cgi2scgi.c program included in python-scgi that works with the
application using a ScriptAlias.
Unfortunately, the C program that is providing SCGI services doesn't
understand our sessions structure, doesn't speak oauth, etc. and returns
xml instead of json which we'd prefer. What I'd really like to do is to
use web.py to handle all the client communications and then translate /
proxy the request to the scgi backend as needed.
I've been reading SCGI python docs all day
(http://www.python.ca/scgi/protocol.txt) and looking at the code in
other apps, but in the end I can't figure out if this approach is even
possible. Has anyone ever tried to do something like this? Got code
examples to share? Will the threaded nature of apache2 + wsgi screw me
over if more than one thread tries to connect to the scgi backend
process without a web server in front of it?
Thanks in advance!
Tony
