# Wt Comments Wt Comments is a project that was written in order to allow users to comment on static websites (such as http://www.mupuf.org). The goal was to create a secure, minimal and self-standing binary that would serve user's comments as needed. These comments are to be stored in a JSON file. I wanted a program that would run under a specific UID (using FCGI or a built-in http server) and that would provide strong separation between code and data in order to limit the risks posed by this service to the system. I decided to write this project in Wt, a C++ Web Framework that I have been looking into using for a while now, because it satisfied all my pre-requirements and allowed the usage of hardware and gcc security features such as the NX bit and canaries. The program has been written with portability in mind. However, it is currently limited to Linux due to one simple function (getExeDirectory()). Feel free to send me patches ;) ## Dependencies, Installation, Execution Please have a look at INSTALL and if necessary systemd/README (systemd is completely optional and only used for managing the Wt process). ## Octopress integration Please have a look at octopress/REAME. ## Upgrade notes Before commit 8869027, comment thread database files were named by the full URL including the protocol used to access the comments. Thus if you served your blog on both HTTP and HTTPS, comments were split across two files. Starting from commit 8869027, the protocol is stripped but Wt-comments won't strip previous comment thread filenames. In order to keep old comments you should just rename (and eventually merge) those files manually.
