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.
Bill
Thanks Bill and Rob
It seems there's not very much traffic on the list, overall. Would it
be an idea to directly ask the "core" people for some input on this?
Cheers
Doug
