OK, I downloaded the Squeak plug-in and I seem to be able to access .pr files stored on other sites. But how do I deploy a Squeak project as a plugin? I think the questions I need answered are:
- What does the server (Apache) need to know in order to serve
Squeak projects as files? Anything?
I am using Kom as Http server (not Apache), and this is the piece of HTML that works - I guess it piggibacks the .pr file through squeakland. The only important thing is the href:
<a href="http://www.squeakland.org/project.jsp?http://squeakers.ca:9090/squeak/games/FishTank-link.pr"><img alt=""Squeak"saver" title="Make your own "Squeak"saver" src="squeak/games/FishTank-link.gif" style="border: 5px solid ; width: 250px; height: 175px;"></a>
I suspect it will work on Apache as well, but do not know for sure.
Perhaps you can start with this, just t test your project works etc, and take it from there, ask questions , plus more info about the HTTP plugin:

- Will detection of the plugin be semi-automatic? I.e., if a user
without the plugin tries to download a Squeak project, will he get an error, an ugly binary dump or something meaningful?
From what I remember, in the life without the plugin in all my browsers, if done "correctly" it will redirect user to the site where to find the plugin. If you use the simple version on top, it will do it right.
- Anything else I need to know about deployment?
I am sure there is more and people more qualified will comment, hopefully the above is a start,

Thanks. Dan
