Hi Roger,

indeed, I have considdered that. But I have no experience on how this would 
behave. Actually what I was trying to do is reducing the involved components, 
instead of introducing more and more over the course of building the system. LC 
- Server came natural there, as it would have allowed me to use liveCode inline 
and having the proven stability of Apache, which is needed for other purposes 
in the project also. It is so unfortunate, that LC-server gets me to 95% of 
what I need to do and then you need to revise your decisions, because some 
things that you would expect to work, just won’t. I can most certainly move 
everything that is needed into a liveCode client, but I would not want to do 
that because of apllication design reasons. Pitty. If I were to set up a 
faceless app as a service / daemon, I am not too sure if I would do it in LC, 
given that it would be a single threaded process and I might need concurrency. 
The pretty part of the CGI approach is that it starts an instance per 
connection that then can act individually. Well, back to whiteboard I guess.

Thanks a lot,

Malte
