I am working on such a thing, although nothing is available
yet. Perhaps the best way to get an idea is to have a look at the
following per-directory config file:
----- jindex.cfg
;; Test a simple entities:
(httpd.FileEntity :name "file.html" :type "text/html")
;; Have more fun:
(httpd.BasicAuth
:realm "admin"
:target (httpd.status.ExitStat :name "exit" :type "text/html"))
(httpd.BasicAuth
:realm "admin"
:target (httpd.status.ThreadStat :name "threads" :type "text/html"))
-----
The syntax might change (it has already change at least two times,
from a simple tcl-like, than to an sgml dtd, and finally to this
lisp-ish), but roughly the idea is that exported entities are
encapsulated by classes whose role is to "serve" them through http,
They can be piped together (see how authentication is handled). I
might have lot of fun, writing such things as httpd.servlet.Chat,
httpd.annotate.AnnotableEntity, httpd.cache.CachedEntity, etc
No code available yet: I am using a mixture of alpha3 and beta API
that I hacked, which will not be easily reproducible. Anyway, I'll
probably announce it here when something is available under beta.
I am having fun,
Anselm.
