Just a note - this concept of putting arbitrary external content in a box in OI is basically the concept behind plumtree's 'gadgets', which is uber-cool. If someone is going to be taking this on, making the handler such that parameters posted to the dynamic URL get passed back to the content generator remotely (like a gateway) so that you could use external cgi/servlets/whatever in a box, would be fantastic, and probably take OI to another level entirely.

While this question should be on the openinteract-help list [1], it should be fairly simple to write a handler that uses LWP to fetch the content of another site and put it in the main content area. We discussed this briefly on the openinteract-help list recently. [2] This is actually a pretty cool, while potentially abusive, feature. It can enable not only other sites to be 'in' the application server, but also *your* legacy sites.
