Klortho
Minimalist Web Framework using Open Technologies
I hate:
- Writing the same old boilerplate code over and over again
- Big, bloated kitchen-sink frameworks
- Reinventing wheels (even though I find myself doing it over and over again)
I want to:
- Use XSLT for web templating.
- Use some not-quite-mainstream languages (like Haskell, Ocaml, Common Lisp) to produce XML output, for XSLT processing.
- Use FastCGI for web server independence.
How will klortho help me do this?
- A FastCGI proxy, written in C, which will...
- ...fetch XML from a URL derived from the original request...
- ...transparently passing request headers and stdin...
- ...and...
- If the returned XML has a processing instruction:
- Apply the stylesheet, return the transformed result as text/html
- If no PI:
- Just pass everything through
What will klortho use?
Where can I get it?
Do you need help? How can I help? I really want to help!
- Yes. I could use some help.
- I'm not a C programmer by trade or inclination, and I'm fumbling my way through with autoconf and automake and all that stuff.
