thanks **a lot** sven. We appreciated this effort and I hope that we will be able to replace some of the code in the environment with yours. Stef On Sep 24, 2010, at 11:46 AM, Sven Van Caekenberghe wrote:

Fellow Pharoers,

HTTP is arguably the most important and most widely used networking protocol. It is paramount for any programming environment to have a good implementation of this protocol. Sadly, the current one in HTTPSocket is incomplete and of low quality. Furthermore, an HTTP implementation in Smalltalk should be clear enough so that others can understand it, learn from it and extend it.

Zinc HTTP Components is an attempt at filling this gap. Started September 1st and currently under development, it is an open source, MIT licensed, open development Smalltalk framework to deal with the HTTP protocol. Please have a look at it, please help make this something we can be proud of.

Check out what works today (Status) and what still needs to be done (Todo). HTTP is fun, relatively easy and is something every programmer should understand, I hope that Zinc HTTP Components can make a difference here.
