Move to Web application framework[edit]

vfv Tornado web is not really a web server. It's a web application framework with built-in web server. So I consider that we have to move that page to this category. Whayt do you think?

Can it be in more than one category? You're right that it should be in the framework category, but it's also well known as a server. If not go ahead and move it.

Well it's better to refer to it as a web application server or application container, compare to Apache Tomcat. Since the principle components are an IO event loop (a pre-AsyncIO async IO implementation), HTTP request handler classes and a template parser (much like JSP support in Java web app containers). It might contain a microframework but most importantly it is an application server and container. Cowbert (talk) 02:21, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Link to site[edit]

The infobox has a link to the official web site at www.tornadoweb.org, but I can't see where that comes from. I don't see any reference to this URL in the page source. How is this done? (I want to do it on another page.) —MiguelMunoz (talk) 12:00, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
