Sorry if this is too elementary; I haven't had occasion to do much in
the way of anything too exotic with Apache -- mostly, it just works.
But now my boss wants to host an organization that has pages with URLS
like http://..../Catalog.aspx, and whose contents include
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
I gather that the *.aspx "extension" is intended to denote something
called "Active Server Pages". And the only support I find for that in
the ports collection is in www/p5-Apache-ASP; its pkg-descr says:
This perl module provides an Active Server Pages port to the Apache HTTP
Server with perl as the host scripting language. Active Server Pages is
a web application platform that originated with the Microsoft IIS
server. Under Apache for both Win32 and Unix, it allows a developer to
create dynamic web applications with session management and perl code
embedded in static html files.
This is a portable solution, similar to ActiveState PerlScript and MKS
PScript implementation of perl for IIS ASP. Work has been done and will
continue to make ports to and from these other implementations as smooth
as possible.
This module works under the Apache HTTP Server with the mod_perl module
enabled. See http://www.apache.org and http://perl.apache.org for
further information.
For database access, ActiveX, and scripting language issues, please read
the FAQ section.

That doesn't look like an especially good match to me. :-{
Further, the above-cited FAQ entry reads:
VBScript or JScript supported?
Yes, but not with this Perl module. For ASP with other scripting
languages besides Perl, you will need to go with a commercial vendor in
the UNIX world. Sun and Stryon have such solutions. Of course on Windows
NT and Windows 2000, you get VBScript for free with IIS.
Sun ONE Active Server Pages (formerly Sun Chili!Soft ASP)
Instant ASP from Stryon (formerly Halcyon Software)
[end of FAQ excerpt]
which sounds downright discouraging. :-(
So: would anyone care to offer clues as to how to support ASP using
Javascript as a scripting language under FreeBSD, preferably using
Apache as the Web server?
Thanks,
david
