.NET Support For Apache

Posted by krow on from the not-quite-there-yet-but-what-an-ugly-little-bag dept.

Sterling Hughes writes "It is now possible to embed MSIL bytecodes into Apache using the mod_haydn module. This means any language that can be compiled into MSIL, now has access to the Apache API, and can register Apache handlers (theoretically at least). Currently content, translation and authentication handlers are supported. mod_haydn is released under the BSD License."

    i agree.. this really sucks.. I cant think of one reason right now to add this. I mean, i converted a site from frontpage for someone just to get away from frontpage extensions. I guess it will be cool to have the framework there as a mod, but it wont go on my 1.3.x

  2. NET2 an antithesis? by Dark+Coder · · Score: 1

    Gee, this topic isn't generating much rave.

    I wonder if it is because of us engineers' aversion to NET2 or Microsoft isn't pumping enough money into the marketing blitz.

    Go ahead, mod me anyway for this (after all there were 6 or 7 postings to this topci).

  3. Interesting for the future rather than the present by pbannister · · Score: 1

    If the majority of your present customers are on Windows, and you hope port to Linux later, this is an interesting development.

    If your developers are all Windows developers comfortable with C# and not Java, this might end up being a big deal.

    If you're considering compiling a higher level language to byte codes, on Windows compiling to MSIL makes a lot of sense. If this also works elsewhere, again this could turn out to be a big deal.

    So yes, this *is* interesting...
