Tntnet 1.6.99

To create web applications Tntnet has a template-language called ecpp similar to php, jsp or mason, where you can embed c++-code inside a html-page to generate active content.
The ecpp-files are precompiled to c++-classes called components and compiled and linked into a shared library. This process is done at compile time. The webserver Tntnet needs only the compiled component library. Because the web applications are compiled into native code, they are very fast and compact.
Components can call other components. So you can create building blocks of html-parts and call them in other pages like subprocesses. Requests are parsed by tntnet and the request-information is easily accessible to the components. It supports GET and POST-parameters and Mime-multipart-requests for file-upload. The template language has also support for internationalized applications. You can easily create web applications for different languages.
Logging is done through cxxtools, which provides a unique API for log4cpp, log4cxx or simple logging to files or console.
Tntnet is fully multithreaded and much work has been gone into making it scalable. It uses a dynamic pool of worker threads, which answers requests from http-clients. Ssl is supported via the openssl-library.

Major Features:

1. Written in standard-c++ with Linux
2. Tested with "Debian Woody x86" and "SuSE Linux 9.1 x86_64"
3. Use template-language to embed c++-code in html similar to PHP, JSP, ASP or Mason
4. Component-concept allows modularisation of web applications
5. Multithreaded
6. Compile a web application including graphics in one single shared library
7. GET- and POST-parameters are parsed and are easily accessible
8. Support for file-uploads
9. Support for i18n of web applications - single code base for different languages.
10. Template-language to embed c++-code in html similar to PHP, JSP, ASP or Mason
11. Multithreaded with a dynamic worker-pool for best performance
12. Compile a web-application including graphics in one single shared library for easy deployment
13. Web-applications are native code
14. Html-form parameters are parsed and are easily accessible
15. Automatic session-handling
16. Use external C++-classes and libraries
17. Enhanced security, because no compiler or interpreter nor source-code is needed on the server
18. Ssl-support
19. Cookies
20. HTTP-upload
21. Automatic request-parameter parsing and conversion
22. Automatic session management
23. Scoped variables (application, request and session)
24. Internationalisation
25. Keep-alive.

Enhancements:

• Has got some minor bug fixes
  
• Are adjusted to the API changes in cxxtools (which are quite small).
