Summary: Web programming framework

Description: 

Ocsigen is a research project aimed at developing new programming
techniques for the Web. Its goal is to offer an alternative to
Apache/PHP, based on cutting-edge technologies from research in
programming languages. It contains a full featured Web server and a
programming framework, called Eliom, that provides a new way to create
dynamic Web sites. With Eliom, you program in a concise and modular
way, with a strong type system which helps you to produce valid
XHTML. Eliom handles sessions, URLs, and page parameters
automatically.

The main features are:

- Extensible Web server, implemented with cooperative threads

- Extensions for serving static pages, CGI pages, for HTTP redirections,
  data compression, reverse proxy, access control, etc.

- Eliom Web programming framework:

- Continuation-based Web programming

- Static checking of XHTML (using OCaml or OCamlDuce)

- Automatic management of sessions

- Concise and modular programming
