Running Eliom over OCamlNet lets it integrate a bit more closely with a third-party web server via FastCGI. Standard functions such as absolute URL construction and SSL checking that depend on the host, port, and connection type have a knack for breaking when run behind a reverse proxy. So, if you're trying to integrate an Eliom web service into a larger site running Apache/nginx/lighttpd/whatever, FastCGI can be a huge benefit. OTOH, if Ocsigen had a FastCGI extension, that could alleviate the need for another web server in some cases. - Michael -- Web/blog: http://elehack.net/michael Jabber/Google Talk: this e-mail address Twitter: http://twitter.com/elehack mouse, n: a device for pointing at the xterm in which you want to type _______________________________________________ Caml-list mailing list.
