Hi Janko, well, what I am looking for is: * "nice" URLs (without Seaside-like session/callback query-parameters) * simple URL mapping * helping functionality (for dealing with query-params, cookies, setting/getting HTTP headers, etc.) Let's say for implementing a blog, or a simple web-page with basic nagivation. Don't think I need more at the moment. Best regards, Sebastian 2012/12/4 Janko Mivšek <janko.mivsek@eranova.si>:

Hello,

before I roll-out my own solution, I thought I should ask:

Are you aware of a Sinatra-like web-framework for Pharo?

http://www.sinatrarb.com/

Or can Zinc-HTTP do that more or less out-of-the-box?

What are your primary expectations? Simplicity, REST, flexibility, for what kind of web apps?

Best regards Janko

With "URL mapping" I mean to variables/parameters, like:

/blog/post/{id}/{slur}

respondWithPost: id slur: slur ^ 'html for post'

Since I see you are involved with Aida... can Aida do something like that? I am not much familiar with it...

Aida has a pluggable router so you can plug your own routing scheme besides default ones. I'd implement your example in something like these steps: 1. create a standalone App class, say MyBlogApp, as a subclass of WebApplication 2. register it in a router: AIDASite default router addRoutePattern: '/blog/post/*' handler: MyBlogApp new 3. create #resouceFor: method in MyBlogApp to return itself 4. continue writing the standard Aida way by implementing #viewMain etc. 5. extracting {id} and {slur} part by accessing the url of the last request: self session lastRequest urlString ... and so on. To ease all of this we can add an additional routing functionality to Aida to be available by default, after collecting some experience, how is the best way to do this. If you are interested to help ... :) Best regards Janko

Best regards, Sebastian

For blog there is a Scribo CMS addon with (a bit outdated) blog included. Wiki and website functionality is up to date.
