mod_octave?

[Gavin Jin]

I browsed through some mailing list  archives  about running octave 
over the web,
and there were two major roadblocks:

1. security
2. performance.

The second issue can be addressed if octave becomes a apache module and
the performance can be greatly improved especially with the octave
executable that is built with fast libraries like atlas.

Mod_octave doesn't have anything to do with being
secure or not, but for people who only want to offer some
web applications with their own scripts, it's not a concern.

Has anyone tried that. I don't know much about apache module,
but I just installed mod_ruby on my powerMac and I will surely
like to use octave for web applications.
