mainly for edutainment purposes I wrote a simple Apache module, but kinda fizzled out as debugging an Apache module can be less than fun!
however one day I reflected that despite the fact I use php a fair bit, I'm not overly keen on the language, I guess the inconsistencies in the API just "smell" a bit wrong...
I wondered if my favourite language (C of course!) could be brought to the web.
now its possibly wildly inadvisable, (it is after all mainly for edutainment purposes) but its just run away with me, I've implemented form handling from some old code I had, added in mod_dbd session handling and actual database handling, prepared statements with parameters should come in rather short order...
but equally if I grep TODO on my source there is still plenty (to do) !
It does occur to me that after developing as a bunch of scripts a "site" could be pre-compiled into a custom apache module in an automated manner, this could take away a lot of the tiresome aspects of developing a custom Apache module...
What do you guys think? Is this something other people might find interesting, or just a fun edutaiment project ?
Loving the power of libtcc - what a great idea!
All the best
Chris
