web2 sounds like it will be fabulous.
I hope you don't mind me asking for a bit more
advice-- suppose I do need to fix the streaming file
upload problem* right away (or at least fairly soon).
Do I use nevow instead of web? Do I use web2 from
svn? What other options do I have before me? Which
of these paths will allow me to bring my webserver
back to web2 with the least resistence when web2 is
released?
-- thanks, Lenny G
* btw, isn't this a security hole for any webserver
running off of twisted-web.resource.Resource -based
websites -- if a client does a post with
multipart/form-data and then just streams data
endlessly, the server process mushrooms to fill all
available memory and swap?
