Can anyone think of a good way to provide remote, read-only, anonymous access to a Xapian database? We'd like developers to be able to install TheyWorkForYou locally. We can give them a scratch MySQL database to work from, but would be nice to offer the Xapian one as well. Francis

With xapian-tcpd you can just run it on a TCP port on your server. Then people can just do: Xapian::Database db(Remote::open("theyworkforyou.com", 9999)); The remote backend doesn't support sorting on a value currently though which might be an issue. Cheers, Olly
