You can already use the vfs to read zip files etc., it's the single file packaging your after, right? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Zoran Vasiljevic (vasiljevic) Date: 2005-05-16 00:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=95086 The advantage is that you can for example, assemble all of the server distro in a starkit and distribute it as a wrapped application. Also, all sorts of filesystem wrappers (tar, zip, metakit, http, ...) are already implemeted in TclVFS so you can serve pages out of the tar/zip files directly, for example. No, mmap kind of things would be not possible since all would be going thru Tcl API. But, where is the mmap used? I believe only in fastpath and only if you explicitly enable it. And, only for Unix port. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Stephen Deasey (sdeasey) Date: 2005-05-15 17:25 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=87254 What would be the advantage of using the Tcl VFS? Would it be just as fast? Could we still use performance enhancemts such as mmap() and sendfile()? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=719009&aid=1202462&group_id=130646 |
