When I worked on MuSwiki, a system similar to SuperSwiki, I ended up
making my own network protocol. HTTP is only convenient if you use it
minimally; trying to push more out of it is a recipe for needless
misery. A custom protocol isn't that hard, and will function on any
computer that Squeak runs on. For example, suppose you'd like to
negotiate a Nebraska session with anyone currently logged into the
server? Suppose you'd like to automatically lock a page while it is
being editted?
MuSwiki linked from the Swiki, for anyone interested. (err, well, now
it's linked. :))
