Sure, don't worry, Squeak can do all that for you easily and dependably.

Seriously.

Seaside is most probably the most mature framework available today, so
you can't probably be wrong going with that. And there is even a website
for it with documentation! :-)

<plug>
HV (=HttpView, my little creation) is much more "lightweight" and has a
slightly different design/idea. It works today and I use it both for
SqueakDot (http://anakin.bluefish.se:8080/squeakdot - hey sign up btw!
You can even look at the source for the pages!) and for our "still
secret but soon not project".

Since I haven't had time to do a real packaging of HV yet (more docs,
tutorial, website) you would have to harass me with one or two emails.
:-)

But it's a rather small .cs that is added on top of the latest Comanche
and there is at least one small sample app included.

Damn, I should add it to the Swiki... :-)
