Judging from answers I've received, I've probably been not clear enough. I know that the security topic is large but I've explicitely not mentionned cryptographic issues (authentication, information hiding, etc.). I just want to secure my server enough so that a bad guy can't crash it or launch a shell with it. I've left other security topics to the near future. I'm not the first one to write a server in OCaml, so I wanted to use experience of previous work. If nobody has written such a document, I'll might give it a try. Any useful comments still appreciated, Yours, d. -- David Mentré <dmentre@linux-france.org> ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
