Hi,
Background: COIL is a configuration system for Twisted, allowing you to manage and configure your server via the web, developed by glyph. To test it out:
$ mktap coil $ twistd -n -f coil.tap
And point your browser at http://localhost:9080
That's so cool! :) This is going to be great. I hadn't looked at coil before (I didn't understand how to use it), but it's going to be really, really handy. A few small glitches I've found mucking about with it: 1) You can't delete a manhole service once you create one. 2) If you create and configure an FTP server, connect to it, and then delete it, you can still use the server from the existing connection. I expect that this might be hard to fix, and may even be desirable in most cases anyway. 3) There's no warning if you try to delete or replace the thing on port 9080 with something else, causing you to think you've broken the configurator until you realise you've been an idiot :) -Andrew.
