The future of warp9
Abstract
Warp9's functionnality is currently limited. This is a look at what is coming and what will soon be available in our CMS.
Different modes of operation
Warp9 can only create static sites at the moment.
This is nice and really secure but has the disavantages of
not allowing dynamic queries and it also makes the
development cycle slower.
We are currently thinking about providing these modes of operation:
- FastCGI server
- SCGI server
- CGI script
- Lighttpd specific SCGI server
The first new mode of operation to be written will be a lighttpd specific SCGI server. It will take advantage of lighttpd 's ability to ignore SCGI or FastCGI feedback using the X-LIGHTTPD-send-file header.
Separate template configurations
The templates warp9 uses at the moment are directly inserted in the configuration. A separate configuration directory will hold the templates in the future.
Easy adding of new page classes
There is currently no way of adding a WarpPage inheriting class without changing the core code. This is one of the points that will be addressed shortly.
