Hi All,

I have a network appliance I am developing which has CLI written in python
(cmd).

I want to add a web interface.

I plan to use ajax only, which means that the browser will get static pages
and use ajax (via RESTful web service over SSL) to retrieve data to
populate the pages.

But not only users will use the web service, I expect any other application
to use it to retrieve data using RESTful web services over SSL.

Here is my question:

Since _very_ few users will be using the web UI, I don't expect much load.
Do I need to bother to use a real web server or can I just use the built in
web server which is used for development?

Thanks, Dan

You mention very few users.

I'm guessing also very little data?

Can we get some concrete figures?!

On average 1 RESTful transaction per minute.

The maximal transaction will send 400K bytes. On average I expect to send
about 100K of data per transaction.

Wow!

With that little use you'll be fine with web.py's server, or even
http://docs.python.org/library/basehttpserver.html

Agreed.  We're using the web.py built in server for a pretty robust
multiuser application and so far have had no problems.  Some pages perform
as many as 10 ajax requests to populate the page.

Thank you all.

I'll use the built in server.

Now since all of the pages will be static (dynamic content wil be ajaxed),
any suggestions regarding how to handle this?

I think to redirect /index.html to /static/index.html and make all internal
link relative to /static.

What do you think?

for this I'm using web.py templates, but only for one specific purpose - a
shared header and footer.  So all my pages are in templates and rendered
via the render() function.  Aside from that difference I'm like you... all
pages are static and content is ajax.
