You absolutely do not want to write an Apache module to implement a web-app! That's massive overkill, like building a machine shop in your garage instead of just going to Home Depot.
If you need more performance than the basic CGI interface provides, good ways to go are either SCGI (which will use an Apache module to make a connection to your process and send it requests), or proxying (implement a basic HTTP server in your app and proxy to it from Apache; you can then scale up by running multiple copies of your app and fanning out.) This stuff has been done many, many times before; it's just that people don't use Cocoa for it. IMHO it's not the right tool for the job in most cases. Web-apps tend to be written in interpreted languages like Java, Python, PHP, Ruby, etc. About the only developer I know of who does a lot of web development in native code is Google, because as you can imagine they have the world's most horrific scalability problems to deal with. And they only use that when they need to, for core stuff; lots of their apps, like Google Docs, are written in Java. In short, you are on the wrong list for discussing the kind of stuff. You need to find a forum about web development, regardless of what language you want to use. And my advice would be to avoid native code unless you have known, measurable performance problems with any interpreted solution. —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
