I think you should start from CGI. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface . *Common Gateway Interface* (*CGI*) is a standard method used to generate *dynamic content on web pages and web applications <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_applications>*. CGI provides an interface between the web server and programs that generate the web content. OK, the web server is like nginx or apache things, and the the programs which generate the web content like web frameworks. We call web application.
So, we can draw a request/response line stream below: --------------------------- request -----||---------handle------||---- response ----------------------- Client -> web server -> cgi -> web application -> cgi -> web server -> client wsgi is a protocol like cgi but more advanced which implemented by python. uwsgi is like more advanced cgi, too, which can be implemented by lots of languages (i.e. python, lua ). And how these things work together? Only just set the right parameters in their conf files (containing log set), which you can google. Maybe, my description is not clear, wish would help you. 2013/12/12 Steven Brown <[email protected]> > Thanks. I looked over the web.py section of that link; there wasn't a > lot there.
