Since the Tcl interpreter is embedded in the server, you can implement maany web applications without any CGI-like constructs.
- AOLserver adds a nice API for writing web applications
- Can register code to be executed for particular urls
- Threads can be created to do work
- Can schedule code to be executed at specified times
Some API highlights:
ns_quotehtml ns_urlencode ns_urldecode ns_gifsize ns_jpegsize ns_httpget ns_db ns_cache ns_crypt ns_form ns_getcsv ns_thread ns_sendmail ns_register_proc ns_schedule_proc And on and on and on. The Tcl API reference can be found at http://aolserver.com/docs/devel/tcl/api/.
