Re: Feasibility of an async HTTP server engine in Gambas (uvicorn-style) + question about JIT

[Kevin Ritch <kevin@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would love to make use of a simple "HTTP Web Server" for my future 
range of Apps.

The applications of a small environment of users in a home/office/school 
that worked by Download, install and just RUN. Something that did not 
require any special knowledge whatsoever to configure.

Something dead easy to use, that natively works with a shared SQLite 
database and no cost to use an IT person. Just a simple READ ME file to 
tell a user how to let their apps get the use of the server..

The number of applications for such a server would go through the roof.

Sounds jolly interesting!

I am looking forward to how this pans out. I would definitely pay a 
reasonable price for it.

To offer desktop apps TODAY requires a complex IT person.

Groovy stuff,
Kevin RITCH
