Hi
I'm on the dev@httpd.apache.org mailing list, and have recently been
alerted to the existence of mod_aspdotnet by some posts from Bill
(thanks).
Sounds interesting and potentially very cool.
I know a fair bit about Apache, but not about ASP.NET. I think it would
be great if your intro page (http://httpd.apache.org/cli/ introduction)
had a persuasive 'Motivation' or 'Why use mod_aspdotnet?' section which
explained to the uninitiated:
* The initial motivation for the project
* Why you would want to house ASP.NET apps in Apache rather than IIS
(or maybe the other way round depending on circumstances)
* Examples of stuff you can/can't do in each of these two containers
* Other considerations (e.g. performance, manageability, licensing
or other costs) with each of these alternatives - especially any perf
stats you have
I for one would find it really helpful if this kind of material were on
show up-front, as it would set the context and give a really good
insight into what it is, and why I might be interested in using it.
What do you reckon?
I think this is an excellent suggestion; is there anyone who would like to
take a crack at this, based on real-world application of both mod_aspdotnet
within httpd and the typical ASP.NET hosted in IIS? I'd be happy to update
the page when we come up with some text.
