The [Apache] mod_websh module handles, among other things, database connections in a rather sophisticated way. http://tcl.apache.org/websh/ [[Reference to other Web-Tcl systems.]] ---- Newsgroup discussion: [http://groups.google.com/groups?q=websh+group:comp.lang.tcl*&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=pgpmoose.200208141016.14276%40despot.non.net&rnum=1] ---- [SEH] 2005May17 -- Has this product been abandoned? No updates since the initial announcement. Pity if it has, it looks really interesting. I like the fact that it can be used as a standalone shell without a web server, for prototyping and sandboxing purposes (as opposed to Rivet AFAIK). ---- [US] 2005 May 18 -- No.There is still some development (bug fixes) going on. Don't use the 3.5.0 download from http://tcl.apache.org/websh/ , it's outdated and contains a few bugs. Rather get the CVS head: cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic co tcl-websh ---- [Peter Newman] 19 May 2005: Does anyone have a '''Windows binary''' (preferably 9x; alternatively XP,) for ''websh''? ---- RB 4 Jan 2006: Websh 3.6.0b3 has been released recently. Unfortunately, still no Windows binary available. But at least it features a Makefile for VC 6.0 nmake. And source has been moved to Subversion[http://subversion.tigris.org/]. [RLH] 4 Jan 2006: I hope that when 3.6 is released it will have a binary for Windows. '''Note:''' I cannot build only install. : \ For the head use svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tcl/websh/trunk websh Latest build currently svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tcl/websh/tags/3.6.0b3 websh [SEH] 20060104 -- FWIW, I compiled the 3.6.0b3 loadable module dll using the provided Windows makefile without problems. The module loaded into my Tcl interpreter (8.4.7 on WinXP) without error or complaint. I look forward to experimenting with it. 20060114 -- I have placed the websh3.6.0b3.dll loadable module I compiled on the web for those who want to try it out. It's at: http://filtr.sourceforge.net/websh3.6.0b3.dll [RLH] 2006-01-15: Is there documentation about where that DLL goes and how to setup websh? I could not find it on the websh site. [SEH] -- It's a standard Tcl loadable module. In tclsh, just type "load websh3.6.0b3.dll" and all websh commands will become available. [RLH] Ah, I was thinking more of a setup like Rivet has. Will do. RB 2006-02-01: FYI: the websh3.6.0b3.dll is good if you want to use Websh as CGI. To use Websh in apache, you need mod_websh3.6.0b3.so. websh3.6.0b3.exe is just a Tclsh that has the dll already incorporated. mod_websh3.6.0b3.so can be compiled for Apache 1.3 and Apache 2.0. My first compilation for Apache 2.2 did not run. Any hints on why appreciated on websh-dev#tcl.apache.org (#->@) ... [RLH] 2006-02-01: Okay then, how do I setup Apache to use the DLL for CGI? ---- [Category Package] | [Category Internet] | [Category Dev. Tools]
