Re: Summing up the Icebreak discussion

From: Kevin Turner
IceBreak does not use Apache as a front-end - I am not sure
where that assertion comes from.

The assertion came from Niels. My understanding is that he's the author. See the
following quotes:

12-30-2010 "Actually, we also use Apache to "frontend" icebreak apps, just for
the reason that apache have some cool rewrite and reroute features...."

1-4-2011 "And the fact that IceBreak is the ILE servlet container also
underlines the misunderstanding of the title of this Thread: "IceBreak as an
alternative to Apache" - Well is Tomcat an alternative to Apache? no - not
really. Typically you use Apache and tomcat very closely together. We also use
Apache and IceBreak closely together."

I am using Icebreak with Renaissance (and therefore all the underlying
CGIDEV2 procedures) without any Apache server in the equation at all.

What makes you think that?  I haven't tried Icebreak myself. So I'm just going
on Niels' comments. Well, maybe I wonder if anyone in their right mind would
write their own HTTP server given that Apache runs everywhere. But that's just a
subconscious thought ;-)
