MochiWeb + Web

[Dmitrii 'Mamut' Dimandt]

How would you approach building a website using mochiweb?

Are there any ideas how an (M)VC framework could be constructed (VC
being more important than M)?

[Roberto Saccon]

Ideas are cheap (implementing them is expensive), so here is one:

take Filippos http://code.google.com/p/ewgi/, slightly adapt erlyweb
any you have a MVC on Mochiweb (and use a CDN or nginx for the static
stuff)

I am actually putting together something like a (M)VC built on top of
MochiWeb, it is just not ready yet ...

regards
Roberto

Since Roberto mentioned ewgi...
what I'd like to do with ewgi is this:
- a server module that talks to the web server

- a restful dispatcher to handle requests:
the dispatcher should get a specification list like
[{'GET', "/an_url", Handler},
{'POST', "/another_url", Handler2}, ...]

Handlers could be either {Module, Fun} or {Node, module, Fun} if the
handler should be called on a remote node. Or a list of Handlers to be
called in sequence.

- A template language for the view part.
I use sgte http://code.google.com/p/sgte/ , but I'm a little biased
since I'm the author :-)

ewgi should allow easy composition of the various parts. At least when
it will be more defined :-). At the moment I'm experimenting with the
interface I've defined to see if it works.

cheers,
filippo

Oh, shoot :) I hoped someone would just appear and say: "Hey, I got what
you need right here" :))))

Thank you! I'll take a look at that!

Interesting! I'll take a look :)

Whatever dispatch system you finalize on, I suggest that you first
lookup by URL path, then lookup by HTTP method. If the first lookup
fails, return a 404 error; if the second lookup fails, return a 405
error and set the Allowed field in the response header.

[Filippo Pacini]

Thanks Matthew,
you are right.

In the past in python I had used 501 (Method Not Implemened) has a
status code when the method did not match, but rereading the rfc 405 is
the right response.

thanks,
filippo

I think you'll get more bang for your buck by porting ErlyWeb to
MochiWeb. Why duplicate all the work that went into ErlyWeb just to
support another web server?

Haven't I just convinced Dmitrii to port ErlyWeb to MochiWeb ? That's
the most bang for my buck :)))

I was responding to the (M)VC thingy you said you were building. Are you?

Hey, I didn't say I was going to do it :))))))))
Though that would be an interesting project to bang my head on
