Hi Alain I have used local HTTP servers too, on the odd occasion. You have given me some other ideas too re: NodeJS.
The scenario I had in mind was a facility for kind of temporary briefcase type store for XML document produced/downloaded, should access to the remote server from where the XSLTForm was loaded be a problem, or the network is down and so forth. I think an extremely light-weight local server is possibly the way to go, but I have always, rightly or wrongly, understood that a document could only be written back to the server from where it was loaded. Of course in the above scenario, it is more like a document would be read from the remote server and written/stored locally until it was possible to push it back to the server. I just wondered if a simple and competent solution was in use my many people already. There are other ways to get around this issue, so I think I will play around. It seems like it perhaps is a different function to address with other tools, rather than trying to do it via XSLTForms. Regarding the Java Applet, I was actually wondering out of interest, when the Applet code would be removed from XSLTForms altogether as a clean up matter more than anything. I am a regular, but not an expert, user of XSLTForms, so I am not familiar with everything it can do. I have found it a very, very useful provision over the time and I am grateful for all the work that has gone in to it and it being available. Thank you.
