He was asking about using Paster alone without a webserver. Yes, you can do this. There are three reasons most people use Apache or Nginx: 1. To use its features: SSL, virtual hosts, rewriting, authentication, fast static files, caching, etc. 2. Apache is very widely used and has a long track record, so many people feel safer about letting it handle SSL. 3. Apache can clean up misformatted requests from substandard user agents, which might inconvenience or crash the Paster routine. I use Paster with ProxyPass, and run it under Supervisor rather than using a startup script. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
