Dear Smalltalkers,
I just published Swazoo 2.0 beta2 for Squeak and VisualWorks. What is
new since first beta?
1. Input streaming of post data in requests, very handy for large file
uploads;
2. Optimizations of HTTP responding, especially for large files.
What is planned until final release?
1. Output streaming, that is responding in chunked format, which doesn't
need a content length in advance. This is needed for downloading large
files (streaming file content directly to a TCP socket) and also for
responding to a request gradually, starting when part of web page is
already ready, without waiting that a complete page is done. This will
improve user perception of responsiveness of web apps.
2. More optimizations of input streaming;
3. Testing, testing testing!
New beta of Swazoo is available on:
- Squeak: on SqueakSource (
http://www.squeaksource.com/Swazoo).
- VisualWorks: on public Store (Swazoo 2.0beta2,mivsek)
After installation you can start a simple 'Hello World' demo site.
Follow instructions on
http://www.swazoo.org/installation.html and short
explanation on
http://www.swazoo.org/documentation.html.
Description of streaming with example, benchmarks and development notes
is here:

goal: to become a web server of choice for all dialects of Smalltalk.
Best regards
