Roxen packaged (web server)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Good morning folks,
I've now finished the first Debian package of Roxen Challenger 1.1.
Roxen was formerly known as Spinner which itself was called Spider
before. This is the most recent version, 1.2 is prepared for
release but has some problems concerning the export of it's
cryptography routines (seee http://roxen.com/ for information.
Roxen Challenger is the most powerful webserver that I know of. It
is highly configurable via an integrated web-interface. Roxen is
multithreaded and modularized.
It's written in Pike - formerly uLPC, an interpreted language that
was designed to server MUDs. The Roxen server is still interpreted
at runtime but still very fast.
It supports all features a modern webserver needs such as virtual
servers both on different IP addresses as well as on different
ports. Its modules contain user database, authorization, user
filesystem, redirection &c.
I'd like some people try out that package and tell me what I've been
missing and what I could do any better - and HOW.
There is one thing that could be done better. Roxen is the only
webserver that comes as a Debian package but does not server port 80
by default. You *have* to configure it by hand - i.e. by your
favourite browser.
