Netscape PCGI Readme

This document is a little overdue (and the subject matter is dated).

However, back in June 2000, I put together a PCGI handler for Netscape servers. After testing, I discovered that the modern iPlanet server has very efficient CGI handling -- something I had not expected. Because of that, I stopped working on the handler. However, Netscape FastTrack Servers do see a marked speed improvement by avoiding CGI and communicating directly with the Zope server via the Pipe CGI path (a named pipe Zope can read requests from).

Since the zope.org submission mechanism was broken back then, I never made this code available. I did have it uploaded, though, and I thought I would identify it now.

The tarball contains two files (not encapsulated in a directory!), a Makefile and dcpcgi.c. Inside dcpcgi.c are instructions for installing into an Netscape server's obj.conf file.

Building is fairly straightforward for NSAPI, and since this module does not appear necessary for anyone, I'm not going to continue working on it.

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)
