Why the IBM i *might* not be a good web server

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Maurice,

Now we are getting into some good depth it seems.  I thought I would start a
new thread being we aren't on the topic of Wordpress anymore.  With your 30
years of experience, which I will respect, could you digress into your
reasoning for the following two statements below?

> I do not think that, at the moment, the I has enough native web integration
to make it a leader and first choice for web applications.

Could you describe what level of integration you are looking for?

> I don't think that is what it was designed for

Could you describe how Microsoft WindowsServer and IIS make a better web
server than IBM i?  This statement of yours surprised me more than the
former, because by the IBM i's very nature and foundation it was built to be
a multi-job/multi-user/multi-DB/multi-etc machine.
