mod_ocaml 0.01

Generally, mod_ocaml is a flexible module for use with the famous Apache Web Server. Probably you know how to benefit of other modules with unbelievable capabilities, like PHP (mod_php4) or Perl (mod_perl). One of the advantages of the Apache Server is the possibility to extend its features by adding modules to your configuration. At this point, mod_ocaml comes up. mod_ocaml is designed to work with the 1.3 family of Apaches all over the world. OCAML is derived from the CAML language. We include the description from its home at INRIA here: Caml is a programming language, easy to learn, easy to use, and yet amazingly powerful. It is developed and distributed by INRIA (the main French research institute for computer science), since 1984. It is freely available for Unix, PC or Macintosh. Objective Caml (OCAML) is a general purpose programming language that combines functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. The language is statically typed; its type system ensures the correct evaluation of programs. Types are automatically inferred. The language offers powerful constructions such as user-definable data-types, the ability to define functions by pattern-matching, and an exception mechanism. Programming in the large is facilitated by a full-fledge class-based object-oriented layer and an expressive module system. Installation Find your installed apxs, usually in /usr/bin, or /usr/local/apache/bin. Call apxs -c mod_ocaml.c to compile the module Copy the created file mod_ocaml.so to your apache libexec directory, e. g. /usr/local/apache/libexec. Make two entries in your httpd.conf configuration file: LoadModule mod_ocaml mod_ocaml.so AddHandler ocaml-parsed .ocml Restart your apache web server. Now it is ready to process your OCML-files. Usage You simply write poor old HTML code and save it under your webserver root. Choose the extension you entered at the "AddHandler" directive in httpd.conf (per default, this is .ocml). So you save a file named, e. g. test.ocml. Until now, you didnt use any of the mod_ocaml benefits. Try to include OCAML code, and it will be displayed "as is". Since you want your OCAML code to be interpreted and evaluated, you have to inform mod_ocaml of this: < ?ocml Printf.printf ("This is generated by the OCAML interpreter.");; ? > As you can see, the init tag for your OCAML parts is ".
