[Qt5-feedback] QML Web Toolkit

[Jason H]

That is completely awesome. 

I've got some experience writing HTTP servers in Qt. 

I would recommend though using the QxtWeb stuff from Qxt, they had a better HTTP 
session design.

I made something similar also about a year ago for my bridgesim project.
A small self written http server using qt, that allows to remotely access 
registered qobjects.
All slots of the QObjects can be called from outside by eg

http://server/objectname.slotname?Param1=value¶m2=value....
 
if the slot has a return value, it will be returned as string, if not just a OK 
message gets returned.
The userinterface of the application itself is currently completely html in 
chrome browser.

It works ... but it is more a hack with trial and error.
So i currently plan to rewrite that stuff cleaner (or the best ... find someone 
who already made at least an internal http server :-) )

My idea would be not only to allow http as protocol but also my own protocol 
with less overhead.
I also want to have some additional functionality to connect two applications 
(or more) to share QObjects.

So process a exposes eg MyControl.
Process B registers MyControl and creates a dynamic dummy object in my Process 
B.
If Process A sends a signal, Process B dynamic Dummy emits the signal.
If Dummy Slot gets called, it transmits it to Process A.

By using http as protocol i can completely remote control the application by 
browser,
by having that "replication" feature i can write also a native userinterface eg. 
qml
