Woo hoo!!! Andrea, you got the point of webconf exactly. Or more precisely, "haserl" - it does the heavy-lifting of form data/file upload parsing, while trying to stay out of the way of the .cgi. "Webconf" is a framework to demonstrate that, but I don't claim it to be the "end all" - it can certainly be improved. As an example, long time ago Eric Spakman suggested a generic interface to allow pull-down menus, context-sensitive text-boxes that "know" how to parse and display a generic .conf file. It didn't seem possible at the time - but after looking at the caudium web-server config engine - I think just that thing /is/ possible, and without python. ;-) So as you work on the port, please feel free to suggest improvements to to either the haserl interpreter or the webconf framework. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
