Modjs

modjs.org has the rudiments of an apache module to handle server side javascript using SpiderMonkey.

SpiderMonkey APIs and a tutorial. Apache Module APIs and a tutorial.

Would like MIME support, a global request/response object (both MIME trees I think), SQLite and MySQL support, and File IO Support (if its not already there). Also should have support for including other javascript sources. mod_js has an example for includes and some of the request/apache stuff. SpiderMonkey has an example shell that shows some support for File objects I think.

Would be nice to have libGD and/or ImageMagick support (EXIF too, if possible), as well as some sort of curl library to get to other sites to do stuff.

Things we should have:

• Class for MIME objects and MIME headers. MimeObject API MimeHeader API
• Object with server info (environment, log functionality) server API
• Object with request info (request string (full and broken up), incoming mime object, maybe cookies already broken up, etc.) request API
• Object with response info (outgoing mime object, print functionality, obstack stuff, way to set headers, etc) response API
• File class extensions, if needed File API
• Better include support (add to File)
• MySQL/SQLite classes and support (new classes probably needed here)
• system call support (put this on server)
• image manipulation support (new classes probably needed here)
• json support (maybe just some quick functions on the response (encode) /request (decode) ? or maybe better as a global)
• curl support (new class probably, using MIME stuff to send and receive, probably wrapped by request/response like objects.. maybe they should be classes, too.)

Things the module should do if it can:

• Cache compiled javascript code?
• Stay alive? Might already do this...
• Cached javascript context? Would this make sense?
• Cached session stuff? Do I really want/need this?
