--- Sounds like a good application for XML rpc calling into a site that
has a db backed. The database submission/search/retrieval code on the
server could be Unicon but probably would be better to use an html
embeddable scripting language on the client side to generate the xml rpc
calls. If no one wants to tackle this I would be willing to address it
in around a month (when the next term starts here). We have 16 muxed T1
lines feeding me. I have a dual 3.2 GHz Xeon redhat/apache box that
would be happy to serve up Unicon samples.
Sounds fine to me! Wouldn't Unicon's SOAP support (admittedly a
work in progress, but still usable) also work on the client side?
That's not html embeddable, of course, but having a standalone app
would certainly suit my needs - and using Unicon would allow me
to write my own variants of the client (e.g. allow me to do
updates via a cron job, do installs in places I wouldn't allow
a script obtained through http access, etc.).
Of course, *anything* would be nice...
