HTTPMounter is a tool to mount a remote HTTP server into a local Zope instance (similar to LocalFS). Example Assume a HTTPMounter instance is installed as /foo/members_zope.org and the base url of the instance is set to http://www.zope.org/Members/. Fetching http://host:port/foo/members_zope.org/ajung/TextIndexNG/ will fetch the document from http://www.zope.org/Members/ajung/TextIndexNG/ This seems to be a very stable, low maintenance zope-product. Last release is from 2002-10-05 08:21:06. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Before we put this package into portage, we need more info from users, that this package is really wanted/usefull/needed. Without such votes, we can'not put it in, because of increasing workload on net-zope devs to support small/seldom use package. PLease consider using portage overlays (PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf) and use package personally.
After checking on project's homepage I noticet that it was Last Updated: 2002-10-05 08:21:06 This is a little bit old package and i'm reluctant to add it to the portage. Please provide here more information.
Essentially this is a reverse proxy in Zope. You can transparently display a remote site/page inside an Zope site. Actually Im not using it anymore, and most other people wont need it, because most people have a Apache with Mod_Rewrite in front of the Zope instance or some equivalent, to feed the VirtualHostingMonster. I just provided the ebuild because the package works just fine - And its age might actually be a argument for its stability. Anyway I dont use it anymore, so I dont care too much when it doesnt get added to the tree.
