I think there is a use for this on *nix, as i asked for it, and someone else did
also, and Robert hasto be using it in the email filter service he runs, and
anything one does on a reliable shell hosting company will be on some form
of *nix. I know i have seen httpd written for tcl, but darned if i can find them
now. I have used perl to do irc mirroring, but i don't want to nuke the shell or
host by using trial and error to get a http proxy on a *nix shell on the other
side of the Atlantic Ocean. I simply won't be responcible for other's losing the
use of the box because i want to experiment, and i can't have someone
standing by to restart it. The problem for those of us on windoze isn't the
generic code, it's the OS-specific interface: how to bind to sockets, release
them, send to and recieve from them. And remote admin'ing them, how to
start them, verify we have permissions to use the port, and anything else
different on *nix.
I did try to run a box on RedHat for about 6 months. Rebooting *nix every few
minutes, when the win95 box kept on chugging for weeks, wasn't my vision
of nirvana. I finally pulled the harddrive and set it on the shelf, where it is
currently doing a much better job collecting dust than it ever did as a puter
OS.
