[Xitami] Xitami/5 - new project announcement

[maurilio longo]

Pieter,

and let's not forget that with LRWP the pc running xitami can be different from the one running the LRWP client process, so you can create very neat systems.

Think of having the client which accesses a database on a pc inside your lan behind a firewall and the web server on a pc with direct access from internet (DMZ), since is the LRWP client process which starts the connection to the web server you can have a secure configuration easily, that is, if the webserver is compromised, you still have your data safe behind the firewall.

Maurilio.
