Journal TekZen's Journal: Web Applications as Apache Modules
I read a journal post at slashdot today from a guy named Micah. He was talking about writing an Apache module in C that was actually a fully functioning we app similar to slashcode.
The funny thing is that Marcus and I have been tossing around the possibility of writing mod_cep (an Apache module implementation of Core enterprise PHP).
Micah's vision seems a little off base since he wants the app to only output XML and allow each client to create and parse their own XSLT. It is also a little narrow in that he envisions things that appear on every page to be in the XSLT and not part of the application (the site name for instance).
We are going to implement XML/XSLT in CEP but are waiting for a little more maturity in the parsing packages. We have high hopes for SimpleXML in PHP5, but there is also a couple of projects at apache.org that look promising (we hope to benchmark a couple of different XSLT parsers).
Anyway, I am mostly just posting because I thought it was interesting that someone else is thinking about an Apache module as an application.
