[Qt-qml] qml +Qt programming for HTML5 Web site

[Jason H]

The problem with this is you need a custom binary on every system for every 
application, and you still need a server! A plug-in is a generic binary. And I 
use the term "plug-in loosely". It could  be a stand alone EXE (load a DLL into 
wrapper) or integrated into a browser (just a DLL). 



Once you can standardize on a plugin, you can also have it signed by a central 
authority, so you know someone didn't compile a raw file system access access or 
network back doors into it.

Not sure on the details but won't you be able to achieve the same with qt 
webkit. Create a qt webkit based client which can render your html5 client app 
that can talk to server like a normal web app. Benefit of that is that you can 
create a html5/css3 front end ajaxified with jquery etc.
