Hi,
I want to write my own request in Zope. I want a specially formatted
request or a command to be intercepted and processed by my own modules. If
the user tries to access a url like
http://www.myserver.org/myhandler or using a specific port on the server
Zope traps this and my request_handler sends data back to the user based on
the url .
Why? I got a PostgreSQL database as a backend for a huge information
organization project. I want to serve xml using a fast and stable solution
like Zope or Medusa to do this, since I also need ftp for object-uploads,
allthough these are not stored in ZODB. A normal ftp-server is used, and
hopefully I could set up a normal medusa kind of ftp-server on a given port
to do this, and avoid all the files being stuffed into the ZODB. I got a
lot of non-Linux ( therefore as far as a know, non-postgresql-python users
) so I want to give them xml to process using a know protocol like HTTP.
How can I write my own class/handler that traps this and serves my data ? I
really want to use Zope cuz I use it for the rest of the site. I cannot
serve all the postgresql data using plain zope-database methods cuz I want
to write several clients in other programming languages that can receive
and process the xml-format I use. The thing I want isn't xml-served as
html, it's xml served to non-browser apps using HTML and ZOPE as means of
delivery.
Of course all of this is to be written in old-fashioned python, no
Zope-products.
Any hints, tips or guides is highly appreciated. I've looked at the Medusa
source and found a couple of things that nearly does what I want them too,
especially in the script_handler_demo-folder, but I'd like to get the whole
thing into Zope if I could.
Thanks.
