rivet for apache 2.0?

[ronald s chong <rc...@umich.edu>]

i used rivet for a webpage last year.  my sysadmin went and upgraded to apache 
2.0 without telling me, now stuff is broken.  is there a rivet for 2.0?  if not, 
what might be the most seamless way of using tcl?  will mod_tcl work with rivet 
code?  thanks a lot.

I've started, but haven't made serious progress yet.  Part of the
problem is mixing Apache's threads and Tcl's threads.  Do you know
which threading model your installation uses out of curiosity?

mod_tcl *might* be made to work at least to parse the web pages,
because I have extracted the Rivet parser.  mod_tcl only runs with
pre-fork 2.0 (no threads) at this point.

If you are really desperate, you can always do something like run a
1.3 in a high port, and ProxyPass it through on the 2.0 server.  I
have done this on several occasions, and it works pretty well.
