I support setting the hostname, however to set a virtual path, you need to do this during traversing, which is done in BaseRequest, that I don't change (because it is a big large blob of code where you cannot really plug anything in it, or change only a few line in it without changing everything). In production we use mod_rewrite to rewrite the URL with an old VirtualHostMonster url and pass it to mod_wsgi with the help of the flags PT. When I boot Zope in infrae.wsgi, I don't do anything that is the responsibility of the server, like setup up user, logs, signals and so on, so that doesn't interfere with the WSGI server, so this works well with all the WSGI servers, including mod_wsgi (that was on of the issues with the default Zope 2 WSGI support). > * Supports exception handling / error views > * Reportedly has significant production use > We have customers now using for more than one year in production, for large sites (30GB+ Data.fs) without problems. > Cons: > > * Not 100% compatible (but close and fixable) - fix to make > plone.transformchain work is here: https://gist.github.com/1547328 There are a couple of methods on the response that would probably a bit more of work in order to be a bit more compatible with what Zope 2 does.

I use after the filesystem logs afterward to investigate issues instead of going into of the ZMI. This is because we often don't have access to the ZMI of our customers, however they can send us the logs in case of problems. We use Paster as well in the stack, and use it to configure the Python logging process, you can configure there a logging to syslog, and after having a central syslog server. I think it is more professional like this, than using a tool in Zope's UI. > * Error handling is slightly different to standard publisher's > exception views, and also does not honour existing > standard_error_message etc > I did this mostly because for each error I wanted to know what was the last valid context I had before I got an error. This information is lost in how Zope 2 does it, because mostly the error handling goes through at least 5 different hooks. After that was to get something much more simple. [...] > ## Suggested approach going forward > > * Integrate infrae.wsgi into Zope 2 If that happens, like I said, we would probably need a bit more of work to be compatible with the standard Zope 2 response (for instance setHeader is aliased to addHeader, but they should behave a bit differently). I can help on my free time to work on any official WSGI support in Zope 2, and simplification of the publication process. > * Remove its five.grok dependency That would be no problem. > * Use the same exception-views protocol as ZPublisher (mainly, that > the view name is ``index.html``) We could update it to be more compatible with Zope 2, and use the Zope 2 error log, but that would need some cleanup work in this last one which is overcomplicated for what it does. > * Stop using __ 'private' variables in response.py to make it easier > to work with > * Add some BBB support for existing error logging and error messages > Sure.
