Hi Phil, Its not permanent. Furnace is being phased out in favor of a rewritten HTTP server and web framework. webapps.help will be updated to use it soon.
Just a teaser of the new HTTP server features: - Component-based form framework with validation support - URL and cookie sessions - Database support - CRUD scaffolding - Authentication with login and registration pages - User account info can be stored in memory or a database - Persistence of sessions in a database - Continuation-based page flow is still supported too - Logging with log rotation and nightly log analysis e-mails Still pending: - Documentation! - Updating pastebin, planet, help web apps in extra/ to use it - SSL support - Library for adding threaded discussion comments to any site - Better templating with support for specifying a common theme for the entire site The first major applications I will write with this library will be a wiki and a blog server for the Factor community.
