+When deploying an application, it is possible to use a one-shot deploy
+function for certain frameworks. The deploy function is called as follows:
+
+deploy(resource)
+deploy(resource, authenticator) # where authenticators are used
+
+For some frameworks, an address may be specified:
+
+deploy(resource, address=(host_string, port_integer))
+deploy(resource, authenticator, address=(host_string, port_integer))
+

+CGI                         N/A
+Twisted                     Supported (host_string is ignored)
+WSGI                        N/A

+applications are typically integrated into the various server mechanisms:
