Swazoo web server 2.0 released
Dear Smalltalkers,
Swazoo 2.0 is here, on Squeak and VisualWorks simultaneously while Dolphin and Smalltalk/X ports are already on the way.
What's new in 2.0 since 1.0? - input streaming for uploading large files
- output streaming (chunking) for sending large files,support for Comet
- improved request framework
- Sport portability layer introduced for easier porting
- improved exception handling
- reorganization of packages
- extensive SUnit tests, all pass
Download and installation instructions are on Swazoo's website www.swazoo.org, where you can find also short description of streaming at www.swazoo.org/streaming.html where a short benchmark of throughput is also present.
A few words about it: Swazoo (Smalltalk Web Application Zoo) is an open source, vendor agnostic, dialect neutral Smalltalk HTTP server with resource and web request resolution framework, a fruit of a first Camp Smalltalk 2000 in San Diego. Its main features are: - virtual site support
- clean web request resolution framework
- static web serving
- input streaming of HTTP requests (for large file uploads)
- output streaming (chunking) for responding large files and for Comet
I hope that you will find Swazoo useful and therefore help us achieve its main goal: to become a web server of choice for all dialects of Smalltalk.
Best regards
