Python Community Server: Development

It's 3.30am ... oh, why not; let's take a look at the techy details behind the much-publicised-but-not-yet-official blogs.salon.com :-)

64.75.32.139 is the static server (Apache 2.0.39).  On Win2K, apparently, and at Exodus.  Note that rcs.userland.com is at 64.75.32.138, so it's probably a box in UserLand's rack there.

b!X noticed the comment server URL (from weblogs.com) - presumably this (rcs.salon.com) is a copy of Manila running RCS (ask Netcraft).  Is it listening to us with XML-RPC?  This is promising.

phil@icicle:~$ python
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Apr 21 2002, 08:38:44)
>>> import xmlrpclib
>>> s = xmlrpclib.Server( 'http://rcs.salon.com/RPC2' )
>>> s.radioCommunityServer.getInitialResources()
{'commentsPageUrl': 'http://rcs.salon.com/rcsComments/comments'}

Yes!

Updated: Here's a quick note to stake a place as user #2 :)  It looks like the static server is password-protected now, so you won't be able to see it ...
