( picoVerse-:( What I want to do with AidaWeb ) )

Hello

Is it possible for AidaWeb to act like a client in a connectionless
client server setup?

I would like to use AidaWeb as an html based extention of the
Dolphin Graphical User Interface.

I would like to make a Dolphin based client server system where
small binary blobs of data are exchanged via a raw socket.
It might be highly connection oriented or it might be connectionless.
I don't know which is better.

What is a good way to make a client server setup using Dolphin?

I want to make an online "extreme programming" system based on
picoLARC( sourceforge.net ) and Smalltalk etc for educational
purposes.

One of the educational projects might be making websites using
AidaWeb.  Since picoLARC is a superset of Smalltalk mostly
this aught to be doable.

picoLARC LambdaLisp is not fast right now but it can delegate
mostly to Dolphin. ( at:put: anArray 1 anObject ) in picoLARC
is equivalent to ( anArray at: 1 put: anObject ) in Smalltalk.

Hi Kjell,

We just started an Aida Offline project, as you can see from a separate
post :) To support offline Gmail-like apps...

Then you can simply add Aida to the local image where your app is, then
connect from browser as http://localhost... ?

You need kind of inter-image communication in that case. HTTP protocol
could be used, Swazoo as a server on server side, some HTPClient lib on
the client one. For the server to client communication you use so called
reverse HTTP approach, usually used in Comet.

This your project is quite interesting. Unfortunatelly I don't know much
about Lisp or Prolog but I can imagine the benefits you achieved. Good work!

Best regards
Janko
