<div>This may be better on a Webmachine questions list. But I thought I'd ask here first since it may be that someone working on one of the other Erlang web servers, besides Mochiweb, has worked on moving Webmachine to use that server.</div>
<div><br></div>The reason I say that is, Webmachine currently relies on Mochiweb which passes lists instead of binary strings for requests. While the req_body of a request is given as a binary the path_info and query string is dealt with as lists. While I would think there could be a performance hit due to this my main reason to ask for alternatives is that dealing with JSON representations on the backend require converting the lists to binaries for processing every time. <div>
<br></div><div>There has been <a href="https://github.com/mochi/mochiweb/pull/38">https://github.com/mochi/mochiweb/pull/38</a> but its clear at the end of the discussion its not a change that will be happening to mochiweb anytime soon.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So is there work on Webmachine backed by Cowboy or another Erlang web server?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Tristan</div>
