libocamlnet-ocaml-dev - 4.1.8-2 main

Ocamlnet is a collection of OCaml libraries focusing focus on
application-level Internet protocols and conventions.
.
Ocamlnet consists of the following libraries:
* netstring: processing of strings that occur in network context
* netcgi2: portable web applications
* nethttpd: is a web server component (HTTP server implementation)
* netplex: generic server framework
* rpc: OncRPC implementation
* netclient: clients for HTTP, FTP, and Telnet
* equeue: event queue used for many protocol implementations
* shell: external commands invocation
* netshm: shared memory for IPC purposes
* netsys: bindings for system functions
* smtp and pop: two further client implementations
.
A number of ideas and concepts are used throughout the libraries:
* netchannels are a way to abstract sequential I/O channels
* event queues provided by equeue and unixqueue make asynchronous
protocol interpreters possible
.
This package contains the development stuff you need to use the core
Ocamlnet libraries in your programs. The following libraries are
packaged separately: SSL-related libraries (libocamlnet-ssl-ocaml-dev),
GTK-related libraries (libocamlnet-gtk2-ocaml-dev), nethttpd
(libnethttpd-ocaml-dev). The netcgi2 Apache connector is also part of
this package; to run applications built for that connector you will
need the mod_netcgi_apache Apache module (libapache2-mod-ocamlnet).
