[naviserver-devel] Proposal: just an idea about config syntax

[Vlad S. <vl...@cr...>]

For example instead of this (or it could be used at the same time, it is 
not a replacement)

ns_section      "ns/fastpath"
ns_param        cache                   false
ns_param        cachemaxsize            5120000
ns_param        cachemaxentry           512000
ns_param        mmap                    false

it may look like this (still Tcl)

section "fastpath" {
     cache                   false
     cachemaxsize            5120000
     cachemaxentry           512000
     mmap                    false
}

section "server/${servername}" {
     connsperthread          0
     flushcontent            false
     maxconnections          100
     maxthreads              10
     minthreads              0
     threadtimeout           120
}


As you can see this is Tcl command section

proc section { name args } {

    ns_section ns/$name
    foreach { key val } $args {
       ns_param $key $val
    }
}

But config looks like more 21 century and more structured and easier to 
read. Very similar to lighttpd by the way.
