I'm curious about this comment. I tried to keep servlet/request/response fairly straightforward and simple. What about WebKit servlets or other aspects of Webware in general do think could be simplified? Please let me know! This is what I was going for: :-) On Monday 24 February 2003 11:06 am, Aaron Held wrote: > Webware is like Python, it only wants to handle your logic, let the > details be managed by native apps that do it better and provide a > 'pythonic' interface.

I never want my web and app servers to be merged in my production apps. I find it useful to be able to restart the app server or even shut it down for a few seconds while I fix something. Because the adapters in the web server try to contact the app server several times, the visitors to my site get a long delay instead of an error. I also leverage Apache for doing various things like rewriting URLs, compressing content, etc. I don't see much point in duplicating those abilities in Python when they already work elsewhere. Although I'm by no means opposed to adding more protocols to the app server. We're already doing HTTP via Ian's earlier contrib. I don't have any Twisted comments as I haven't used their product. -Chuck ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
