Re: Draft for hosted cgi

["Julien Delange" <julien.delange () gmail com>]

Hi everybody,

I make an update of the specifications[1]. More, I wish answer to some
questions that were asked in the initial post.

- About language used in CGI
I will probably use Perl. In my opinion, it's a good language and many know
it. On the other side, Ruby could be interesting, because rails can help to
make a good cgi app. I'm not fixed now, and will do some tests during this
week. But I already make many programs in Perl and think it will be more
easy for me. On the other side the easiest way it's not always the best !
More, I don't know if the used modules (HTML::Template, ...) with Perl will
support the taint mode.

- About language used for Daemon
I think it's probaly better to use the same langage of cgi-application. In
fact, I plan to make a common API that could be used for that
cgi-application and the daemon.


- About raw commands
In fact, at this time, the daemon will store resulsts as XML files with -oX
options. I don't plan to support others output options. I prefer to make a
working solution, and after, I would add other functionnalities.

If you have some time, and you're nice, you could read the new document[1]
and provide feedbacks.

Thanks in advance,
