For those helping on intrigue...

The name has been changed to webclay, something a bit more meaningful for a web application stack. The SVN repo has changed as well to reflect the new name. I am working on a web app, so it will be changing rapidly as general needs arise. For those that do not know of intrigue/weblay, it started it's life as a generic web platform extracted from the forum here. Since then, it has become very easy to use and powerful. One day, the forum will be updated/rewritten to make use of all the new features of webclay.
Webclay in short:
- Handles URL to Euphoria routine dispatching
- Query string/forum to function parameter mapping
- Type translation (say you have a field that asks for Age, it will go to your function as an Integer, or a birth date, will go to your function as a date value, not a string)
- Input validation (say name is required, date of birth has to be greater than the year 1900, etc...). Validation will take place and upon failure the form will be reissued w/proper error messages
- Template system included (based off of Kanarie, but modified a bit for more usability)
- Far easier to use than a CGI application
- Front end is written in such a way that server to application connections will be handled directly by webclay, thus allowing your application w/o change to support CGI, FastCGI and SCGI depending on your deployment requirements
- Standard server URL rewriting allows for an easy translation of http://myserver.com/account/login.html or http://myserver.com/forum/view.html to webclay requests
If anyone wishes to use webclay or help in it's development, please let me know. It's sources can be found on my SVN server: http://jeremy.cowgar.com/svn/webclay ... A short example of how webclay works is included in the sources: http://jeremy.cowgar.com/svn/webclay/trunk/htdocs
