But I hope everyone knows that the slogan is an urban myth...
There was a slogan, but it was actually "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux".
Someone got creative since both VAX and Electrolux made vacuum cleaners, and now we had the VAX computer - it was just a small change to the slogan...

You can create a virtual terminal for CGI task and pass data through
terminal I/O :)
I just remembered the biggest objection to this...
If/when I implement the POST operation, I would expect the data sent by the POST to come through the normal input channel. The header fields from the request needs to be passed somehow out of band between the server and the CGI program. Hmm, maybe I can implement some IPC for this, and have the CGI program able to query the server for interesting parameters... Another set of functions in a library... The only problem being that IND would need native functions for it. But then again, I just realized that IND poses another problem as well, since no MCR commands can be done from a spawned process on a VT: normally, as that VT: is not logged in... Hmm, but if I do a login, then I can also setup logical names for that terminal... Hmm, seems, in a way, perhaps a better solution.

Johnny,
Are you asking for programmatic content or blurb? I'm happy to help with
blurb, not sure my BASIC skills are up to any programmatic stuff.
It was a request for Blurb, I think. The programming of the server and so on is something I know, but I'm lousy at all kind of graphic design and so on.
But for now, it's only possible to do static html pages.
I've been using WebSockets lately, they are a very cool and easy to use
HTML 5 technology to open a direct two way string based communications
mechanism. Mark Daniel has integrated them into WASD, long-term it might
be interesting to consider an implementation - it would open up a lot of
interesting possibilities without requiring a huge overhead.
Feel free to explain how it works to me, and maybe it is something we can work on in some fashion... :-)
