Dear List,

I want to write a sever/client based tool and yust want to get some
knowledge from the more experienced Qt developer than I'am, due to the
fact that I'am a beginner with the Qt Library.

The application must run on Windows, Linux and Mac, thats the reason why
I decide to go with Qt.

I also must use some dlls from a 3rd party company, which is, for now,
only available under windwos.

I have seen the QHttp* classes but this looks to me that this classes
was designed for 'client' then for server, I'am right?

I thought about to use the

http://www.qtsoftware.com/products/appdev/add-on-products/catalog/4/Utilities/qtservice/

There is a 'very simple' http-server and this is based on QTcpServer, is
this the 'best' way?

I thought to use the QCoreApplication for the server part and
QApplication for the GUI part. The communication will be done over
tcp-socket.

I plan to use some messaging libs, maybe someone have a good experienced
with a lib for/from Qt?

Maybe

http://www.zeromq.org/
or AMQP
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Message_Queuing_Protocol

Maybe someone hade some 'pitfalls' which he/she want to share so that I
don't fall in there ;-)

Many thanks for your help

Aleksandar Lazic
