Well, I did some effort before and got Andreas to include a number of patches so that his WebClient-Core loaded into Pharo without a need for a compatibility layer. The lastest version does no longer have this property ;-)
I again submitted some patches to Andreas ( http://forum.world.st/WebClient-Core-port-to-Pharo-1-1-final-td2322411.html#... ) but he hasn't responded yet. Futhermore, I did not yet fix everything, but the code works for my purposes.
As I discussed with Stéphane, it is not clear for me how this must go further, since we keep on running 'behind'. So it is good to discuss this here.
like that :)
- load it in 1.2 - update it when andreas publish new versions - start forwarding to webClient - remove the other code slowly
I do not feel as running behind. Just been pragmatic. The rewrite of network was a task on the proposal we wrote for inria the engineer will just help/do something else and we use webclient and on a regular basis merge from the project of andreas we did that for polymorph continuously in pharo 1.0. stef
