I'm certainly interested into these things too.

But I'm not sure I would like to see U++ custom web server, I mean I would prefer something well used, robust and powerful, like apache for example.

Well, the problem there is that not too much is left for apache to do in such case. Of course, if you have mixed content (some pages C++, some static or other code), it has some merit. Otherwise, parsing http requests is quite easy.

And thinking about some common classes for parsing GET/POST variables (especially to handle the security aspect of these things easily and almost in fool-proof way, so you don't have to think about security checks every time you need some GET variable from user) makes me excited even more.

Check HttpServer in the Web.

Maybe all we need is some good tutorial how to set up existing technologies to work together with U++, and couple of simple U++ - like classes for making parsing and HTML output easy.

All is already there. OTOH, I suspect the idea of HTML expressions is a little bit over the head (tried to repeat SqlExp success there, but HTML seems to be another kind of beast...).

BTW, I seem to be working for internet company now, maybe there will be some new web programming means in U++ soon Smile

(Unfortunately, so far I am working on some backend with PHP frontend, so not direct HTML for now Wink
