Could you expand on the reasoning a little? I mean, what is for you
the advantage of running Eliom over Ocamlnet as opposed to over the
Ocsigen server?
From my point of view the problem with Ocsigen is that it requires you
to install an HTTP server. In the real world the programmer, or even
the project leader, don't have this freedom of choice, because there
are system constraints imposed by others. You are often asked to
provide an application, along with detailed instruction for the
installation in a standard environment, where one (ore more) HTTP
servers have some standard connectors (WSGI, FastCGI, AJP, etc...)
Ocsigen can run with most other webservers via a reverse proxy. The
Ocsigen process itself doesn't even need to have special privileges, and
can be installed and run by a regular user. If you are allowed to use
WSGI, FastCGI, AJP, etc., it shouldn't be more difficult to use Ocsigen.
Process management might not be as handy, so you'll have to manage
somehow the ocsigen process crashing / being killed, but there are other
tools (e.g. monit) for that.
I'm not saying that WSGI, FastCGI, AJP, etc. support for Eliom has no
benefit! But we can live (and we do) without it for now.
