I'm kind of interested in Petru's use of the term 'protocol module'. That sounds like we could move AOLserver beyond the webserver area and get it toward a more general purpose server. Maybe that is what others here are refering to as an application server? At any rate, http is a nice protocol, but it would be nice to be able to run AOLserver without it.
Right now within AOLserver, you can add modules that listen and handle requests. Is the protocol module going to do this, or will it replace the http nssock module?
