Hello,
I am Xavier Beaudouin, Caudium Webserver Maintainer. I'd like to port on AolServer a nice thing (or beast?) we did on Caudium : VHS.
Now since I am new on Aolserver, I am trying to understand how I can add such nice functionality to get a system that works like caudium vhs or even mod_vhs for apache that I have made too :-)
I'm sure some folks will jump in with advice on where to look. But before they do that, I'm curious, why are you interested in doing this work, and what led you to AOLserver?
Thanks :)
Simple, the Caudium seems to die, not because it is less and less used, but because the language on which it is based (pike) is more and more unstable, difficult to deal with and in general not very well maintained.
Imagine a language that between 2 version is not compatible with itself...
(Like a perl script that can work only on perl 4 because most of low level call has changed names, place, or even way to call them).
AOLServer has same basis about technology : eg high level language, some low level C modules, and threads as Caudium, so that's why I'd love to understand how it is working, and make things I like on this server.
On other hands, I was very disspointed about Apache, that didn't changed a lot its api and still stay on 1990's even if Apache 2.0 has threads... but you still cannot play with "connection object" as I do on Caudium to make some unique features.
Here is my 0,02c... :)
