from http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/upgrading.html """ Extensive changes were made to the server API in Apache 2.0. Existing modules designed for the Apache 1.3 API will not work in Apache 2.0 without modification. Details are provided in the developer documentation. """ http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/developer/modules.html Since mod_webkit is a quite simple as modules go, it should not be as horrendous as this page suggests, but if IIRC, from my own unfinished attempt to port it, it is not trivial. Memory management was the first thing I was dealing with. The other thing I ran across is that mod_webkit itself was patched together from various places. Being the perfectionist/optimist I was then, I started a clean rewrite rather than a straightforward port. Perhaps that explains why it was never finished. However, now that 2.0 is the official stable release of apache, and since this question gets asked approximately biweekly on the webware lists, I believe the time has come to take the plunge. Any takers? I am willing to do it, but it probably will be another month before I get a serious start. -- Terrel Another option, probably easier in both the short run and the long run, is to find another similar module like mod_backhand that has already been ported, and write another adapter to connect to it: pro: let someone else maintain the icky C part, write the adapter in clean, sweet, elegant Python! 8-) con: may be a little more work dealing with non-webware specific stuff. (e.g. parsing the stream instead of marshal.loads()) Any comments on this approach? Jay? (I imagine there was a reason you wrote mod_webkit in the first place, instead of using mod_backhand.) _______________________________________________ Webware-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-devel
