How does this differ from NeoWebScript (http://www.neosoft.com/neowebscript)?

Well, pretty neat. However, what are the improvements over
Neowebscript from Neosoft (http://www.neosoft.com/neowebscript). I've
been using Neowebscript for about 2 Years (I think).

So basically a Tcl extended Apache is already available for quite
some time, allthough with Neowebscript Tcl is not so tightly coupled
into Apache compared to mod_perl.

Me three; that is, I also think it would
be most valuable for someone to write up
a comparison of mod_tcl and NeoWebScript.
I'd love to refer to it on <URL:http://
starbase.neosoft.com/~claird/comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix/neowebscript.html>.

You're an early adopter!

"[N]ot quite so tightly"--what do you mean by
this? There are a couple of senses in which
it's (partially) true ... From what I know,
NWS operates intelligently and securely, which
requires a fair amount of sophistication in
interfacing to Apache. <URL:
http://www.NeoSoft.com/neowebscript/sysopinfo/theory.html>
explains more on this subject.

NeoWebScript has a relative, NeoWebScript
Stand Alone, with two salient properties:
1. it's NeoWebScript. That is, scripts
function identically when passed to
NeoWebScript SA.
2. It's stand-alone. That is, it's
pure Tcl, with no connection to Apache,
so it runs under MacOS, Win*, OpenVMS,
...
Is that the "not tightly" you had in mind?

Hi

After experimenting with a few ways of serving Tcl-generated
pages on the web, a clear winner emerged as Apache/tclHTTPD
combination. Apache serves as a front-end caching server, while
tclHTTPD runs on its own (externally unreachable) port. To the
browsers everything seems served by Apache (you can even cache
once-generated pages there, but be sure to include correct expiration
info in the HTTP headers). This also provides secure comm (using
Apache-ssl) and fairly low overhead.

While we're listing web servers with Tcl embedded, AOLserver uses Tcl.
See http://www.aolserver.com/ . Haven't tried it, however.

Philip Greenspun has, and has plenty to say
on the subject. For this, and everything
else I've captured on Tcl-savvy HTTP servers,
see <URL:http://
starbase.neosoft.com/~claird/comp.lang.tcl/server_side_tcl.html>.
I welcome comments and amendments, of course.
