[14:58:34] pong [14:58:50] pje: sorry to disturb you, I was considering trying to use wsgi for non-html, like as a gui application server [14:59:08] are there any gui application servers you know of? and is this an insane idea? [14:59:17] no, and yes. :) [14:59:22] hehe [14:59:48] i'm mostly kidding, though... after all, AJAX applications are non-html GUI appservers over HTTP. [14:59:50] fair enough, that's what everyone says [15:00:00] so yes, there are plenty, and no, it's not insane. [15:00:28] but how about using wdi for this purpose? [15:00:35] s/wdi/wsgi/ [15:01:01] I don't follow what WSGI has to do with it. WSGI is something that happens inside a server. [15:01:09] s'got nothing to do with the client [15:01:41] well, I was hoping to get middleware for free [15:01:53] (I know you are against this kind of thing of course) [15:02:09] but I was hoping to use the same server and middleware for both web and GUI applications [15:03:50] yeah, that's AJAX... already exists, have fun. :) [15:04:06] ok, cheers for the advice [15:04:08] I really don't understand what *else* it is you intend to do [15:06:11] well, I was half-hoping you had an pplication server hidden away that could deal in more than returning strings [15:06:23] but I hadn't really thought about json as the carrier [17:33:58] pje is now known as pje_mtg [17:48:27] ** mike8 has left IRC ("Ex-Chat") [18:14:29] pje_mtg is now known as pje [21:52:09] ** pje has left IRC ("Client exiting")
