I don't see how it would speed the migration..  in fact it would have kept
me from moving my stuff away...by adding functionality, especially as an
add on module, it increases the likelyhood that someone will not migrate
away to -get- that functionality...  I love aolserver, I think it is a
very stable (for me), fast, powerful server.. I love the tcl being built
in.. I love how stuff works with it...  but it isn't a "fit" any more... I
have grown in my needs to other directions...  I still help maintain it at
work, most of our work servers run it..  but for some things it doesn't
work out.. which is depressing to be honest.

I am familiar with the concept, I use one Daniel Stasinski wrote.. though
when I used AS for my personal site I used the functionality of AS to do the
same... but for this particular use (the gallery software), and for similar
functionality in other third party software I really need something that is
compatible with how Apache does it...rather than having to manually go in
and create the URLs each time something changes, or write a filter that
processes it all first using Regexp (not my strong suit of programming to
say the least)...

Compatibility with common apache features would go a long way towards wider
adoption of AS

Funny that your putting this out :)

Some years (1, 2?) ago, I was tinkering with the idea of how
to bring DAV (faster) to AS and one of the considerations
was to snap-in Apache-layer and use mod_dav as-is.
The fact that Apache is now also going MT would mean
that many mod_x modules will have to be made MT-safe
which could simplify the work.
I'm afraid that we'd need to make some internal changes
in AS C-API, but it would be worth the effort.

Assuming it isn't too much of a nightmare, I think a compatibility

the main one I am concerned with is a script for subscriptions that

suggest you approach this as a new nscp++ module that could include all of these great ideas and more. goal going forward for aolserver core code is to keep as tight and simple as possible. no reason someone couldn't write a new nscp module that others could load in instead of the standard aolserver nscp.

Fair enough.  I think it's possible to write a mod_rewrite emulation
layer, but I'm very skeptical about .htaccess, unless it's a limited
subset.  What .htaccess directives are used?  As I wrote earlier,
completely supporting every possible .htaccess directive would require a

Using filters is easy enough, I did it when I ran AS.. but I am running
some third party stuff that is made more capable/powerful with mod_rewrite
and .htaccess... and some other software that requires .htaccess so it
makes it easier to work with...  in other words its not the functionality
that is already there in other ways, but the compatibility that I need.

Guess what I am running?  :)  Apache.. I stopped running AOLserver on my
personal machine a few months back... for those two requirements..  it
makes it easier for me..  though I will play with AS4 sometime soon to see
if it can do the virtual server stuff as well for me..  ;)

It was using Apache that gave me exposure to the htaccess and
mod_rewrite.. and they are very nice tools..

But I would rather have Aolserver for the speed and inbuit tcl.. :)

I'm in strong agreement.  There's a lot in .htaccess that's fundamental
Apache architecture (AddHandler in a .htaccess file, for example -- that
just won't work with AOLserver as it stands, and the changes would go a
long way toward turning it into Apache).  Now, if all you really want is
perms stuff, that's more manageable, but still requires a new perms module
in AOLserver.  mod_rewrite I imagine could be done, but could probably be
done as easily in a filter.

It'd be great except TclReadlineCmd calls Tcl_CreateFileHandler(0, ...)
for stdin.  If you could pass it the input and output fd's, that'd be
perfect ...

Maybe I'll submit a patch ... or, (read below)

Yeah, I don't think we really need full readline/ncurses in nscp.  I
think just line editing capabilities (cursor forward, backwards, start
of line, end of line) would be a big win at this point.

Considering how "standard" VT100 is these days, we could just support
that and pretend like all other terminal types don't really exist ...

There is already a tclreadline binding.

I think there was another lib similar to readline, but
not GPL that someone was going to work on as well, but

Lately, I've been thinking of switching to tclsh as my login shell (yes,
I'm a nut) and I've heard from other folks that they'd like readline
support in nscp ... so, I wonder ... what might it take for something
like "package require readline" to work.  So, if you really want
readline support in nscp, you'd just connect, then issue "package
require readline" and off you go.

Okay, so maybe that idea is half-baked.  But, if people don't mind
linking nscp against libreadline, I'd be happy to work on putting
readline support into nscp since I know almost everybody wants it.

> - Examples of how to setup virtual servers.

Have you looked at the following URL:

http://panoptic.com/wiki/aolserver/VirtualHosting

Criticisms?  Shortcomings?  Confusing parts?

(I'd love to gradually evolve the content on that page into something
that satisfies most people's desire for "virtual server/virtual hosting
documentation" but I can't do it without the necessary feedback from the
audience ...)

This isn't too hard.  Has the aolserver packages officially been
orphaned yet, or is Brian (or was it Bryan) still maintainer?

Is this more complicated than embedding Tcl and then Tcl_Eval("load
libnsd.so") ... ?  Or am I misunderstanding what you're asking for,
here?

Isn't Zoran working on this?

You could just get a better client program. For example, connecting to
nscp from inside Emacs can give you editing and history support.
If you have a separate program that puts readline on top of a TCP

and SMTP connections.

There ya go, limiting it to ONE thing.. :)   but I am difficult, and never
listen anyways...

1: A better solution for virtual hosting
a: I don't have to run multiple instances of aolserver
b: the Pageroot variable is updated correctly so scripting
in languages like php can handle virtual hosting
c: logging to seperate files for each virtual server

I discovered this in the last few days.  If I instant message
someone a URL pointing to an image, it never gets logged in the

not sure, but it is annoying.
