[ANN] Swazoo web server 2.0 beta2 released

Janko Mivšek
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: http://www.swazoo.org/streaming.html

I hope that you will find Swazoo useful and help us achieve its main
goal: to become a web server of choice for all dialects of Smalltalk.

Best regards
Janko Mivšek
maintainer of Swazoo
