mod_websh is a Tcl extension for rapid web application development.

Websh is a rapid development environment for building powerful, fast, and reliable web applications. Websh is versatile and handles everything from HTML generation to data-base driven one-to-one page customization. We have been using it for years for virtually all our customer projects, which typically are E-commerce shops or electronic banking applications. Websh is extensible and portable, and its comprehensive set of commands is quickly learned.

Open Source Software

Websh is released as open source software. The source code as well as binaries for a selection of platforms are available for download for free. Websh users have full control over and insight into Websh. This is protection of investment.

Apache 2 module

Websh is scalable. Its CGI interface ensures that Websh can be employed virtually everywhere, using off-the-shelf web servers. If performance is key, the Websh Apache 2 module gives you lightening-fast one-to-one content. And the nice thing: for both the CGI environment and for the Apache 2 module, you use exactly the same Websh application.

Websh history

The development of Websh began in 1996. Websh has since been successfully used in virtually all customer projects of Netcetera. Why does a technology-driven company like Netcetera rely on a tool with such a slow release cycle ? Good design pays off.

While the Internet changes at a rapid pace, the underlying technologies remain stable, and Websh has been built to handle them. The practical experience gained from the day-to-day use of Websh has now been channeled into the current release, Websh 3.

Based on Tcl

Websh is based on the Tool Command Language (Tcl, pronounced "tickle"). Tcl is a fast, comprehensive scripting language as well as a library. The Tcl development started 1987 at the University of California at Berkeley with John K.Ousterhout. Development continues through a large group of volunteers coordinated by the Tcl Core Team, who also perform the majority of the work.

Requirements:
Tcl 8.2 or higher
Apache 2.x
