Hi,
I'd like to announce Apache::Roaming, a PUT/GET/MOVE/DELETE handler
designed for making Apache a server for Netscape roaming profiles,
as supported by Netscape Communicator 4.5.
The source is based on Vincent Partington's (
[email protected])
mod_roaming, an Apache module for the same purpose. The main
advantage of Apache::Roaming is that it is subclassable. For example
the first release includes a package Apache::Roaming::LiPrefs, that
can create, parse and modify the liprefs files users are loading
down. So you can fix the users proxy settings, for example.
The main disadvantages, compared to mod_roaming are obvious:
Mod_perl is required and it is slower. See
http://www.xs4all.nl/~vincentp/software/mod_roaming.html
for details on mod_roaming. Apache::Roaming is available from any
CPAN mirror, in particular
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/modules/by-module/Apache
Bye,
Jochen
