Xslt

[Marcus]

Hi,

Is there a plan to include XSLT support into Litespeed, and if so, any idea about when it might be implementable?

Thanks.

Have no plan yet, but it is a interesting feature. Is there any standard way to do this? Any web server support this?

NginX implements it through a compile-time option.

See: http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpXsltModule for details.

This module allows you to select a single or sequence of XSLT's. It uses the open source libxslt library. The XSLT is read only once - at runtime. This avoids the expensive overhead of reading the XSLT with each instantiation (that a scripted application would do). I've not tried it in practice yet, so I can't give any performance stats, but I would expect that it would be pretty quick - and much quicker than calling PHP etc to do the transforms.

Apache also has modules for versions 1.3 and 2+ (and possibly others).
