[Caml-list] ocamlnet-0.95 released

[Gerd Stolpmann]

Hi list,

I have recently released the newest versionn of ocamlnet.
This release only addresses issues with the jserv support.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is ocamlnet?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A collection of modules for the Objective Caml language which focus on 
application-level Internet protocols and conventions.

The current distribution contains:

- a mature implementation of the CGI protocol

- an implementation of the JSERV protocol (AJP-1.2), can be used with
  mod_jserv (Apache JServ) and mod_jk (Jakarta connector) to connect
  application servers written in O'Caml with web servers

- an experimental POP3 client

- a library of string processing functions related to Internet 
  protocols (formerly known as "netstring" and distributed separately):
  MIME encoding/decoding, Date/time parsing, Character encoding
  conversion, HTML parsing and printing, URL parsing and printing,
  OO-representation of channels, and a lot more.

Ocamlnet is developed as a SourceForge project:

  http://sourceforge.net/project/ocamlnet

Developers and code contributions are welcome.

Ocamlnet is licensed under the zlib/libpng license.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where can I download the sources?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ocamlnet/ocamlnet-0.95.tar.gz
http://www.ocaml-programming.de/packages/ocamlnet-0.95.tar.gz

You NEED the PCRE library as prerequisite, and findlib is recommended
(but not required).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where can I read more?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://ocamlnet.sourceforge.net. There is also an online version of the
manual.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in 0.95:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Several bugfixes in the jserv modules. There is now a jserv
property "ocamlnet.https" to set that the server assumes 
the HTTPS protocol. New jserv config options js_idle_worker
and js_idle_master to perform idle callbacks when nothing is to
do.

There's a typo in the URL, it's missing a `s' in projects:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ocamlnet/

Best,

With POPSSL or not (otherwise POP is totally unsafe, the passwd travels
uncrypted on the net !!!!) ?

It supports at least APOP, which does not send the password over the
net.

There isn't an SSL library for OCaml yet, so I would be surprized
if anyone could announce SSL. You can use external tools such as
stunnel (www.stunnel.org), which would be sufficient for POP. The
disadvantage is that do not have introspection into the details of
the SSL connection from O'Caml code.

But APOP requires to store the passwd in clear on the server and many 
system administrators do not want to hear about that :-)

Thanks, I will have a look.
