Hi Lukas,

Why not use Swazoo? I did this sort of thing in Squeak with Swazoo-HTTP 
and Swazoo-Listener. These packages give you a minimal HTTP server for 
Seaside. You could backport them to VW, which shouldn't be too hard, or 
perhaps figure out how to make the stock Swazoo do what you want.

My urls look like this:

http://localhost:8080/app?_s=TOAZSOrdyJEZlDnS&_k=hZkCbQvC

This is handy because you can still have config and administration apps 
running alongside your main application.

Good luck.
