Hi Raphael,

Putting other handlers (and thus be served from 8069) is definitely
possible: this is how the (new) web client is done: it uses the --load
command line flag (which ends up in
openerp.tools.config['server_wide_modules'], which already contain 'web' by
default). Such server-wide-modules are loaded irrespectively of any
database. Their 'post_load' entry in the __openerp__.py file, if any, will
be called. The post_load implementation of the web addons will register its
own handler.

Handlers are simply WSGI applications. The OpenERP server itself is such a
WSGI application but acts as a router. There is one unconventional approach
we took here: handlers are not registered under some route, but can decide
by themselves if they want or not to serve some request. If they return
None, the next handler will be tried. If this proves to be too
unconventional/not practical enough, we can change that.

I hope to have some time to expand on this subject and add it to our doc.

Cheers,
Thu
