I cannot think of any earthly (or even unearthly) reason why Google Chrome would not already be 100% compatible with all the HTTP(S) implementations available on System z. It's a ubiquitous protocol, and HTTP has been running on mainframes longer than on any other system with the sole exception of the defunct NeXT operating system.
note that the first web server outside of europe was on the slac vm system: http://www.slac.stanford.edu/history/earlyweb/history.shtml other history about HTML at CERN tracing back to sgml & the cms script clone done by waterloo http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2008j.html#86 CLIs and GUIs http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2008k.html#3 CLIs and GUIs and http://infomesh.net/html/history/early/ I've commented before that CERN had presented a paper at SHARE circa '74 comparing TSO and CMS ... and copies inside the corporation were classified "need to know only" (not wanting to unnecessarily expose employees to how bad TSO was). the science center had been responsible for virtual machines, cp40, cp67, etc http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#545tech GML was also invented at the science center in 69 ... and support for GML markup was added to the cms script command. gml eventually was standardized as sgml http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#sgml science center was also responsible for the internal network http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subnetwork.html#internalnet and was larger than the arpanet/internet from just about the beginning until possibly mid-85. this didn't use standard products from the communication product group (and was something of contention with that organization) ... recent references to some of that http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2008i.html#99 We're losing the battle http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2008m.html#20 IBM-MAIN longevity The vm slac web server predates SLAC bringing it up on NeXT platform. much of NeXT was picked up from Mach microkernel at CMU (various pieces of andrew related activity) and can be traced forward to the current apple system. there is joke about the corporation paying for some of the andrew technology three times over. the corporation and dec equally funded project athena for $25m each ... but in that time-frame, the corporation funded cmu andrew activity for $50m. There were (at least) some sabaticals of CMU professors at san jose research (possibly yorktown also). -- 40+yrs virtualization experience (since Jan68), online at home since Mar70 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
