Hi:

I wanted to leverage the use of XUL in conjunction with hobbit, and I
managed to get Hobbit installed and running using Jetty as my HTML engine.
There were some changes I had to do in the code to get it going, namely
changing all the instances from REQUESTED_URI to SCRIPT_NAME in the CGI's
and Web Forms, but other than that I got it up and running out of the box.
 If there is interest for me to write somewhere how I got it going, please
let me know. (It might be a long email, before I clog your mailboxes, I
rather ask first :) ).

Hmm, I guess that just shows I didn't really understand what CGI
variables are standard and which aren't. After googl'ing a bit, I
think this might be a reasonable thing to do as SCRIPT_NAME appears to
be more standardized (it's defined in the original CGI specification
from the oooooold NCSA http server).

That's a fairly trivial search-and-replace that I can do myself. If 
you needed to do any other changes, let me know. Although I am quite
happy with the Apache webserver, there is no point in being
in-compatible just because it's easiest.


Regards,
Henrik
