[Xitami] Xitami Digest, Vol 24, Issue 1 Xitami/5 features

[William Peckham]

I need CGI or SSI to implement my webmail and remote access features.
These work well with Xitmai 2 in either mode.  I have implemented in
lighttpd, but it is a royal pain compared to Xitami (though nowhere NEAR
the pain Apache is)!  

If you are dead set against CGI, I understand.  I would hope that you
will leave some way for us to implement features lacking in the server
itself for our custom services.

Other than that, please keep the primary characteristics that we love
from current Xitami builds: security, easy of configuration through
manual editing of flat files, efficiency of operation.  We need no gui,
and I personally care little about the Windows build.  
I can always run Linux under Windows in a virtual environment if needed.

Hi All,

Happy new year for 2009.

It's been a while since we stopped working on Xitami/2.5.

Well, we've started on a new version of Xitami, which will be called
Xitami/5.  (Versions 3 and 4 were started, and dropped, internally.)

It'll be a while before this becomes a polished stand-alone product,
and that will only happen if people ask for it and help make it so.
Our main reason for restarting this concept is that we need a small,
tough server as the front-end for new web services we're making.

Xitami/5 will remind you a lot of Xitami: compact, efficient, and easy
to configure.  It won't have CGI or LRWP, unless someone helps make
this.  It's meant above all to be scalable on multicore boxes, secure
(it will have SSL support), and unhackable. It will run on most OSes
but we're not going to spend time making nice Win32 front-ends.  It
will run without ever crashing.

I've put a post on www.zyre.com (Zyre is the new web messaging service
we're making) that explains a little more.
