Ocsigen is a web server and a programming framework providing a new way to create dynamic web sites. its goal is to offer an alternative to apache/php, based on cutting-edge technologies coming from research in programming languages. it has most of the features you expect from a web server (static pages, cgi scripts, etc.) and also an innovative module, called eliom, for generating dynamic web pages. with eliom, you program in a concise and modular way, with a strong type system which helps you to produce valid xhtml. the server handles sessions, urls, and page parameters automatically.

this package contains the web server itself and shared files.
