What are my options for a webserver that will support TCL and allow me
to limit resources (especially memory) used by a script?

So far I have:

1) FastCGI and use a process supervisor and/or OS limits
2) Apache pre-fork with websh (or Rivet or mod_tcl?) and a similar
approach

As far as I can see there is no way of doing this with Aolserver,
TClHttpd or Wub. I have used TCLHttpd once before and liked it a lot,
Wub and AOlserver look good too (although Wub seems to lack
documentation). Is there a way I could use any of these?

TclHttpd supports cgi as well as threads, thus you could use the same
limiting approach as #1.

I had forgotten that TCLHttpd supports CGI, but it does rather negate
the advantages of using a server with TCL support.


Also, if you use TclHTtpd with Tcl 8.5, 8.5 give you several ways to control
execution resource usage in a slave interp.

If I understand the documentation, there are limits on time but on
memory. If I am wrong about it would solve the problem very nicely.
