The reason I'm posting in this list is because I'm trying to write a module in objective-c that will work with apache and this is a list on objective-c and I know I wouldn't get much of a reply on the apache lists. And I'm not writing a apache module just for a web application, I'm writing it so I can get the language of Objective-C to the web easier and better. I am getting closer to figuring out how to compile a module in cocoa. I think I can take it from here and I will post the first Objective-C module's source here for all to see and possibly use.
Thanks for the tips, Mr. Gecko On Nov 28, 2009, at 12:21 AM, Jens Alfke wrote: > 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.
