Nick, John, and Kevin. Thank you for your reply. It seems like
Webaction is able to handle professional workloads.

I just find it a little strange why there are so few Webaction users.
The combination of Webaction and CLSQL is a real killer. It's so easy
to get a site running and the environment is great (screen, lisp, and
a swank server).

There are a couple of uncertain points I would like to resolve before
I make the full commitment to Webactions. They are:

1) Dynamic images. What is the best way of dynamically generate
   images? Let's say a user has some search criteria which results in
   some images, i.e. books or other items. What's the best way to do
   this under Webactions? Do you do it the Allegroserve way where you
   generate the entire page, or do you publish the path to the image
   using the session key for the user, or some other way?

2) https. Do you simply start aserve with the ssl argument set to
   true? Any other ways to elegantly handle access using bot https and
   http?

3) Limit the size of uploaded files. There is a way to do this under
   Allegroserve, but what is the recommended method under Webactions?

Thanks for any help. And John, thank you (and Franz) for releasing
this great product as open source.

Petter
