There is another update to JHP: J Hypertext Processor
with '~GCI' pseudo-folder for local references
and loading external scripts.

But most exciting, it includes OpenGL rendered 
dynamically at the server side. You can see it live at
   http://olegykj.sourceforge.net/jhp/
Thanks to Brian Schott for the idea.

Dynamic OpenGL now runs seamlessly on Windows and Linux.
But it was not without some extra work.

 - dedicated offscreen rendering to a bitmap is not supported directly in
this release. Hence there is no Save As BMP or Copy to Clipboard.
Although all the wiring is there, and it is possible by pruning
some functions in place (see openglbmp.ijs).

 - In order to install it on a hosted server, you don't have
the luxury of writing Mesa to /usr/lib. So a version
has to be built and installed locally, ~/local/lib. Hence,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH needs to specify it. But also gl3.ijs
needs to be modified, as indicated in 
   http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/beta/2006-May/001063.html
   http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/beta/2006-May/001145.html

 - On Mac there is a strange thing that under the "www" user
of Apache, the CGLChoosePixelFormat gives an error (invalid pixel format).
The closest thing that was found is that there is some kind of issue
on Mac running GUI-related components with headless users.
A workaround is possible as in Hack #28.4 in Mac OS X Hacks, 2003 ed,
to change User and Group to <youruser> and setting Port >1000: 8080 or 8088.
Which in turn causes a problem in break temp file and requires to 
comment out in system/extras/util/boot.ijs
   NB. setbreak 'default'
But after that it runs fine under Mac.
