except they are handled asynchronously with the server application. This allows the server
to process other requests for files or information and allows some processing time for the
ACGI application.
MacHTTP takes extreme advantage of AppleEvents. In this regard is it completely
AppleScriptable and recordable; all of its menu options are available via documented
AppleEvents.
MacHTTP is very well documented and supported. It comes with extensive documentation
and tutorial files well worth your reading. The scripts demonstrating how to take advantage
of MacHTTP's AppleScript interface and custom AppleEvents have been the model for
many Macintosh-based CGI/ACGI scripts.
MacHTTP has been superseded by WebSTAR, a product marketed by StarNine. In short,
WebStar is really MacHTTP on steroids since WebSTAR supports a number of features
not included in MacHTTP. For example, WebSTAR sports the Macintosh Thread Manager
meaning WebSTAR can perform internal multitasking allowing it to process more requests
more efficiently. Additionally, WebSTAR supports pre- and post-processing of requests so
particular server-side functions can take place before or after requests have been handled.
Last, WebSTAR supports a feature called "actions" enhancing the server's ability to handle
scripts.
While MacHTTP is not longer being improved upon, it is still an excellent program. If you
can not afford WebSTAR, then MacHTTP is definitely the way to go.
