generally, are/were there any plans for things like j2ee "connector"
to access off world "web services"? 

specifically, how do i access a servlet (paypal) on a j2ee application
server (tomcat) from plan9 httpd?  a portion of the http request needs to
be handled on the plan9 server so moving everything off of plan9 will
still require apache/plan9 connectivity and auth considerations, etc.

If you are going to have to use java you could as well forget Plan 9.

(In theory you could make httpd speak whatever retarded protocol tomcat
uses this week, back in the day there were three or four, each with it's
own set of bugs and flaws, and requiring a different apache module, but
really, what does that earn you aside from extra pain?)

What I would like is something 'servlet-like'(the servlets API itself
was not all that bad back when I had to deal with it, but that is
ignoring JSP, J2EE and all that crap), but in Limbo.

Last I heard Inferno's httpd was in rather bad shape(HTTP 1.0 only?) but
I think caerwyn was working on bringing it back to the level of Plan 9's
httpd.

I think someone mentioned that brucee had something in OzInferno for web
app development, but you probably know more about that than me(I would
love to hear more ;)).

As soon as I posted patch came back

I've submitted it as httpd-none and changed -N to -u to match a
different patch that does the same thing for another program

Hi,

I updated http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/maht/httpd/* to
sync with current source
/n/sources/contrib/maht/httpd/*

It adds -N option to stop it dropping to none which you have to be the
hostowner to kill
and logs any 404's to /sys/log/httpd/log

I tried to see if it's in patch already but that's taking too long
(patch/list has been sat there 30 mins now)
