POSIX has lot of methods, i did not found a more HTTP-compliant way to deal with it. If you have ideas feel free to expose them, i would be really happy to simplify the specs. Rega…

lol :) but as already said there is no standard for POSIX access via HTTP. (WebDAV is not a competitor here, it is only the cause that pushed the development of spockfs)

Seeing it from the perspective of a network filesystem (WebDAV by itself is a lot more, albeit afaik has never been used seriously as an authoring tool) it is a bit over-engineered…

at this point i have no idea of what an ssl vpn is :). The two kind of them i am aware of are openvpn-like (a custom service running on a tcp/udp port, but not on http) or the ones…

please do not use the suid binary approach, it is something really avoidable in various way. Check the --touch-reload option of uWSGI, you can create an empty file (writable by the…

Take it as an "infrastructure"/"swiss army knife" for hosting and deployment. Most of its features are still topic of research in autoscaling,management, tuning and so on... Most o…

you can directly link uWSGI with varnish using http protocol instead of the uwsgi one: http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/wiki/Example#varnish

in both gunicorn and php you have to choose the number of workers/processes. Most of the time (unless you use php-fastcgi) the number of php processes is choosen by the sysadmin as…

No, uWSGI has nothing to do with performance. Its strength is in the features and operational modes. Each application is diferent from the others and (could) requires specific tuni…
