If you build OpenSSL as a shared lib, and the build procedures for
the AOLserver modules are friendly to that practice, do we really need an
OpenSSL module?  What would it do?

Last time I built nsopenssl.so, I did it that way, and I've had no
problems other than that you may have to adjust the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
include the place the OpenSSL shared libraries.

I have zero experience with shared libs, other than understanding what
they're for. Seems like you already have it working this way, so I'll
try it out. If you could, please send me any changes you made to the
Makefile to do this. Putting openssl.so into AOLserver's /bin directory
might eliminate the requirement to update LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

We don't use any code that's installed with the OS. All of our
production binaries are compiled from scratched into a specific area so
we know exactly what's being used, and so an OS upgrade from, say, RH
7.2 to 7.3 doesn't break something for us.

/s.

[AOLSERVER] Two modules for AOLServer available

2002-09-28 Thread Vlad Seryakov

Hello,

I have two modules for Aolserver:

nsmain - IMAP interface, can be used as IMAP client

nssnmp - SNMP interface, can be used AS SNMP client, supports ICMP as well

I use them in production for a while they seem to be stable.

Download from:

Wow, this flurry of modules for AOLserver is fantastic! Keep'em coming,
and thanks for your contributions.

That's excellent. Out of curiosity, why nsmain instead of something like
nsimap?

 nssnmp - SNMP interface, can be used AS SNMP client, supports ICMP as well

Hmm, I can see all sorts of interesting applications for this. Again, out
of curiosity, what have you been using it in production for?

I'm on my way with a quite useful module myself. This will take a week
or two, as I want to clean up the code a bit - it was used internally
for now.

It will allow some of these:
- host based vhosting and file aliasing
- file/socket detaching (*HARDCODED* - Tcl =8.4 checking will be added
in the near future)
- i18n support (Utf-8 and other encodings handling)
- Tcl based ADP parsing (I'm using it for all of my dynamic pages!)
- URL based statistics - mostly for testing  benchmarking dynamic pages
- async handlers (allows Tcl_Async*() based multithreaded communication)
   (*REQUIRES* Tcl 8.3.4 or 8.4)
- misc utilities

I guess the most important part will be the new vhosting and Tcl based
ADP parsing.

I second that question :-)

Could you add some DNS support as well? I use scotty for SNMP, ICMP and
DNS, but would gladly move to a NS based library.

 Scott suggested to rename it into imap something, so it will probably

 renamed to reflect IMAP only support.

It'll mean changing the Tcl interface commands to ns_imap or something
similar. I hope that won't be too much of a burden on you Vlad -- it
would mean changing your production Tcl code. We could have the module
use both ns_mail and ns_imap commands the same way for a while.

 scalable. It still lacks full MIB support, but i could not find
 multithreaded MIB library.

Most SNMP libraries appear to be commercial products. Surely there's on
open source one somewhere that's multithreaded.

Re: [AOLSERVER] Two modules for AOLServer available

2002-09-28 Thread Scott Goodwin

We now have three modules (that I know of) which use OpenSSL. I think
it's time to break OpenSSL into its own openssl.so module, and have it
loaded prior to loading nsencrypt.so, nsopenssl.so and nsimap.so. I'll
work on that this week.

Vlad, your nscache is labeled as version 1.4. Rob's doesn't appear to
be labeled at all. So I'm going to make Rob's import and file release
as 1.3, add your changes and make that a separate 1.4 release. If this
isn't correct, let me know -- like, really soon, as I'm working on it
right now :)

/s.
