Hey,
Hey,
I took a quick look at System.Web over the weekend, and I am not sure that it
is that bad.
Most of the native stuff has to do with performance counters and some
authentication stuff on Windows (which we can
skip/ignore).
I think also the caching subsystems use kernel APIs.
But the core of System.Web should be relatively easy to move.
Right, but we need to remember about mod_mono compatibility and the fact that changing the core (the sole System.Web
namespace) has cascading effects on all the other System.Web things - it's not an easy task to make it all work fine.
It's definitely doable, but may require a lot of work to get right. It would be great if we could replace just the
System.Web namespace for starters, but I doubt it's going to be that easy.

Hey Martin,
Hi Miguel,
That sounds good.
In terms of System.Web then, would you prefer your internal team does
it? or am I ok to start replacing some
files when
the sub-module is added? I was thinking of trying to hit the
HttpApplication class first and work my way out
from there.
Please be especially careful with System.Web - there are plenty of mines
buried there. Both in our and in Microsoft
code. The latter codebase uses a lot of native Win32 methods which may not
have portable (POSIX, preferably)
counterparts. Our code, OTOH, has a lot of cruft from the 1.1 days. The
biggest problem with our code, however, is
its reliance on an early (wrong) assumption that ASP.NET <http://ASP.NET>
pages are, in fact, valid HTML. The parser
is such a convoluted piece of misery that touching it in a wrong way causes
System.Web to fall apart. If you want to
start contributing I'd start there since there are issues we cannot fix
using the current parser (especially the
conditional parsing part). I dare say that System.Web will be one of the
most challenging parts to port. Good luck
and if you need any reviews and/or help don't hesitate to contact me.

Hey,
I do not think we would be moving the code. We would do two
things:
* Make changes to the fork in mono/referencesoure
* Reference the new files from mono/external/referencesource

HI Miguel,
Thanks, exactly what I've been waiting for! I only really
have 1 question.
In the ways that we are going to port things, you mention
pulling in the entire assembly. How exactly
would you
be thinking this would work? try building and fixing anything
that it depends from other libraries in
the other
libraries? or are you going to fork the reference source,
submodule it, reference all the files in the
.sources
files within mono, then fix (i.e. add #ifdefs etc.) to the
fork?
Essentially, are you thinking that there will be an assembly
that can simply be copied without changes
in the
above circumstance?
Thanks,
Martin
