[Syncevolution-issues] [Bug 2254] New: RFE: support for headless http server

http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2254 Summary: RFE: support for headless http server Classification: MeeGo Platform Product: OS Middleware Version: 1.0 Platform: All URL: N/A OS/Version: --- Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Undecided Component: SyncEvolution AssignedTo: patrick.ohly(a)intel.com ReportedBy: leamas.alec(a)gmail.com QAContact: jingke.zhang(a)intel.com CC: syncevolution-bugs(a)meego.bugs Estimated Hours: 0.0 Besides the "personal" covered by the HTTP http server UI submitted, there is also a usecase for those having a small home server. In this scenario, it's not really easy to use the http server as of today. My own thoughts on this are that with two reasonable changes this should work quite fine. The first is to allow the http server to run without Seahorse. Seahorse is really not useful in this scenario, and adds a lot of dependencies including an accessible X display (even if it's not used). For the headless case maybe just validating the user's login password would be enough. Or something similar, without GUI interaction. The other fix is to allow the server to run from inetd. This would give advantages w r t server load and http server stability (since it's just restarted for each sync). This means that it should be able to use stdin/stdout instead of socket communications when given a command line option. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.meego.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching someone on the CC list of the bug.
