Hi Peter,
you've indeed understood my idea of AxKit and the flexibility it would provide. The state of my AxKit2 idea is the following: + Transformation chain works + Caching works (with dependencies, ... ) - - XSP - - AxKit-Uris, ...
The latest and greatest source can be download until I get a repository up from this URL: http://www.bestsolution.at/documents/TomKit.tar.bz2. This means as long you are only using transformer chains with AxKit the actual code is useable and stable enough (see the benchmarks included in the tar.bz2)
Please note that you need mp2 greater than or equal than rc5.

No not yet. Before I'll contribute the code to AxKit I want the dev team to have a look. Until then I'll publish everything my own, setup a repository, ...

Yes. If the dev team decides they don't want to go the way I thought I'm trying to get something as similar to AxKit as possible.

Well there are problems with AxKit e.g. to make it thread safe (which is needed e.g. to run AxKit on win32 with mp2) you're going to break backwards compability because you can not chdir, ... . Some part of AxKit like the config are using the apache-api at a C-Level and you definately have to have a good knownledge how Apache2 is working
| | As I understood it - until now I ony "use" AxKit and have | not digged into the core code very deep - there would be the | "cheap" way of simply adapt all the mod_perl interface changes | and ignore the filter features etc. ... | | Or the "expensive" way of building something new that uses | filtering etc, but whats left of AxKit then? | | The Pipeline would be a set of output filters - as I understand it. | The Provider is the response handler, and the syle choosers etc | would be input filter that dynamically install the output filter | mentioned above ...
The actual design is that TomKit works in the following phases: - --------------------------------------------------------------- * FixUpPhase: Caching, Configure TomKit dynamically ~ + if content is cached: set handler to TomKit::Cache ~ + if content is not cached: set output filter to TomKit::Engine * ResponseHandler: ~ + default handler (e.g. when file in file system) => caching ~ possible at FixUpPhase ~ + isa TomKit::Provider: caching possible at FixUpPhase ~ + CustomHandler (like PHP, CGI, ... ): caching possible in fixup ~ phase via $r->notes and HTTP-Header * Output-Filter: ~ + caching if not possible in FixUpPhase (see CustomHandler) ~ + TransformerChain
