A high-performance security proxy

sec-wall is a feature packed high-performance security proxy supporting SSL/TLS, WSSE, HTTP Auth Basic/Digest, extensible authentication schemes based on custom HTTP headers and XPath expressions, powerful URL matching/rewriting and an optional headers enrichment. It's a security wall you ... [More] can conveniently fence the otherwise defenseless backend servers with. Visit the project's site at http://sec-wall.gefira.pl/ [Less]

mondoframework

Mondo is yet another web development framework. Mondo stresses security, developer productivity, ease of deployment, ease of maintainability, performance, and compatibility with existing systems. Mondo borrows from the best of existing frameworks including Seaside's highly granular session and ... [More] security, Rails fast flash-to-bang, Django's 'more than just CRUD is included', and Erlyweb's scalability for Comet-style applications. Mondo is built on Scala, a hybrid Functional and O-O language that compiles code down to the Java Virtual Machine. Scala code can call any Java code and make use of all Java classes. Java code can call some Scala code. Mondo applications are packaged as WAR files and can be deployed on any Servlet 2.4 engine (e.g., Tomcat 5.5.xx) Mondo is an open source project distributed under an Apache License V2.0 [Less]

inazuma

InazumaInazuma is designed to be a fast, multi-threaded web browser built with security as its first concern. It takes a modular approach for each individual component which makes up the modern web-browsing experience. Inazuma will initially be only able to run on Linux / UNIX-like operating ... [More] systems and will make use of WebCore and JavaScriptCore from Apple's WebKit as it's rendering engine It's currently in early planning stages, after those are complete, a proof of concept release should be forthcoming. Current musings are in the Wiki, stating with Structure. [Less]

secowela

Secowela is a language for writing web browser applications. It is a compiler language that generates standard javascript. Thus, all Secowela programs will run nicely on web browsers. If you ever tried to build a multi-thousand LoC javascipt project then this is for you (once it's finished of ... [More] course). FeaturesComponent and object-orientedUnlike JavaScript Secowela features classes and components. The idea of components is that multiple components from different authors can be embedded on one web page without interfering with each other. Secure componentsIf you embed third party javascript components in your web-site (widgets etc.) this javascript code can do what it wants to on the client side. In Secowela you can specify which client-side APIs and which DOM elements such a component is allowed to use. If - for example - a social networking web-site embeds some Secowela components from a third party, the web-site can limit the access rights of the component. Thus, the component can for example query the user's friends but it cannot send mails to these friends. Statically typedThe Secowela compiler will be able to find bugx that a dynamically typed javascript interpreter cannot find upfront. Partial type inferenceHaveing types is nice. Typing them in is boring. Secowela tries to infere the type in many places such that you do not have to write it down. The compiler will figure it out. Distributed programmingModern web applications perform many server callbacks (AJAX). Since web applications are single threaded we have to implement asynchronous IO which results in cluttered code if used in too many places. Furthermore, network and server problems must be tolerated. Thus, a programmer has to mix timers with AJAX requests. Failed requests must be repeated, and so on ... It is getting extremely ugly and therefore most programmers don't care, keep their fingers crossed, and write code that runs only well on good weather. Secowela allows you to write programs synchronous but executes them asynchronous on the browser. Google Protocol BuffersSecowela supports google protocol buffers natively. XMLWhile I am really not an XML fan boy, Secowela supports XML natively which simplifies the creation of nice UI elements. WhyYou may argue that GWT is the way to go. However, I do not believe that Java is the perfect fit for web programming (C# is not the perfect fit for WPF either). Thus, GWT is not where I want to go from a syntax paradigm. Furthermore, some core concepts of Secowela are not there in Java. Especially the support for secure components and asynchronous distributed programming is missing in Java. Of course java can handle security boundaries at runtime, but that is far too slow when executed in javascript. The Secowela approach puts the magic in the compiler/language thus that the resulting javascript code is not slowed done by security checks. ImplementationSecowela is implemented in C# and features a LL grammar. See the source Luke. StatusThe grammar for the language core (without XML and protocol buffers) is in place, the parser works and type checking is almost complete. The javascript generator is yet to be done. [Less]

ypy-zmotor

ZMotor is an opensource PHP framework originally developed to helps you develop clean and reusable codes.

nephtali

NephtaliBuilding on the new functional capabilities available in PHP 5.3, Nephtali provides powerful web development capabilities within a small web framework. Defining featuresFunctional style (functions are preferred over objects, many framework values are immutable.) Novel architecture makes ... [More] use of micro-controllers (as opposed to the page- or front-controllers) and embedded views, cleanly separating HTML from PHP and empowering designers in the development process. Wrapper functions for PDO simplify DB work whilst maintaining control and flexibility. The framework all fits within ONE FILE. What it buys youNephtali, while small enough to fit within one file, buys you a bunch, including: Automatic input validation. Automatic ouput escaping. REST-based input validation and html fragment requests are built right in, making AJAX enhancements a snap (you can choose the JS framework of your choice, although a plugin for jquery exists.) Debugging built right in to every page (while in debug mode), which allows you to view information on incoming data and any variables you choose to watch. Error handling built in to every dynamic region, and if one dynamic region has an error the rest of the page still loads normally. Dynamic regions in markup are defined by XML comments, freeing designers to use the editor of their choice. Nedit, an online code generator for Nephtali, makes it easy learn and to get things up and rolling quickly. Parallel processing of web services requests using the powerful capabilities of CURL. Installs in a couple minutes. Can add functionality to particular pages or entire directories with ease. And, much, much more :) SummaryIf you’d like to try a novel approach to web development, I hope you’ll give Nephtali a try. Cpanel appears to be approaching a release that will include PHP 5.3.1, making Nephtali more available in the wild very soon :) [Less]
