Xac - a simple web framework

Xyne · 2010-05-20 15:25:00

Well, I don't even know if it can properly be called a "web framework", but whatever.

After a few inquiries about my site and a recent direct request to share the code, I've cleaned it up a bit and put an archive online. You can find it here. The guide on that page, as noted there, is taken directly from the archive without adaptation, so some links don't work and some files may be missing. Just dump the archive contents into an Apache docroot and browse it to see the real guide.

This is yet another thing that I share because others might find it useful. I doubt that many will and I do not propose this as a viable web framework for a "serious" site. Please don't bother posting comparisons to "real" web frameworks or questions such as "why should I use this" (no one said you should). I wrote it to scratch my own itch.

If anyone finds a security hole, please send me an email. As with all things I post, questions, suggestions and feedback are welcome.

The link ("http://arch.localhost[...]"), isn't going to work for anyone not at your computer. Maybe host it in a public folder on Dropbox, or on your actual webserver? (Or just update the link if it was an honest mistake:))

*EDIT*: I found it on your site here: http://xyne.archlinux.ca/miscellaneous/xac

Looks interesting, definitely going to have a proper read-through when I'm a bit more awake.

I must have grabbed it from the wrong tab. I probably clicked it but of course it worked locally. oops

posting while tired -> lulz

Haha, I understand you completely (I do practically everything while tired...)!

As for the code, what I've seen of it looks good. Don't see why anyone would mock you for it Sure, I may not be a "real web developer", but I have a bit of experience and it looks good to me.

Honestly though...where do you find time for all your updates, projects, and random flow charts?

I don't know... I just get side-tracked and end up paying for it with lost sleep.

Keep in mind though that the website has been up for a while and that the code has been developing in large and small steps during that time. It's easy to accumulate code by working on it gradually.

Most of the things I write are actually quite small too, so they don't take much time.

You still had time to write the XAC page...and you update your tools within a few minutes of a problem being found usually, not to mention how many posts you make here Either way, kudos to you for managing it (and who needs sleep?!).
