ajp-wsgi released

Saturday, December 16. 2006

Well, after a week of coding, I decided to "release" ajp-wsgi (i.e. make its existence known beyond my web sites and blog). It's a rather niche project, but if one other person finds it useful, then hey, cool.

Releasing it costs me nothing.

I found it highly educational to create, illuminating the mysteries of the Python C API. Plus I'm using it everywhere now. And after having closed ticket #4, the solution of which seems to have been a panacea to all current issues, it's pretty much complete as far as I envisioned it.

Now maybe I can get back to Flannel...

And I have thought about writing an SCGI version as well... but it's not something I would use. So what's the point? I don't really like supporting something I don't use regularly, though by virtue of being free software, I'm not really obligated to provide any support. (But I still do because I'm a nice guy.

) Maybe if Apache HTTPD eventually adds a mod_proxy_scgi though...

Ah, no Google hits for mod_proxy_scgi. Oh well. At least this entry may eventually show up.

Hi Allan

Very nice project! I would really like to test out the performance gain.

I have tried to play with it, but it does not seem to work under Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Do you have an idea why?

Kind regards,
amix

Sorry, let me give you some more information:

It compiles without any problems.
I launch the test module, i.e.:
./ajp-wsgi -p 8080 test app
And I visit http://localhost:8080/, and it's a blank page.

Kind regards,
amix

It's not an HTTP server, it's an AJP server.

You'll need to compile and install mod_jk for Tiger's version of Apache HTTPD or install Apache HTTPD 2.2 and use mod_proxy_ajp.

I have tried with Python2.3 and Python2.5.
