HttpView2 1.1-beta

Yesterday I released a first beta version of HttpView2. This is the first development release of HV2 since Goran published version 1.0 in November 2004.

HttpView2 (aka HV2) is a little, lean web framework for Squeak. Since Goran, the original author, has given me complete development freedom, I’m steering HV2 away from being a framework for web applications and towards being one for RESTful web services.

Highlights of this new development release include:

• a new, generic Canvas system


• a new XHTML Canvas system, inspired by Seaside’s one.


• HTTP responses are now accessible from the various View methods


• source code reorganization

HV2 1.1 is available on Squeak Map. If you have any bug reports, or you’re interested in helping, drop me a line in the comments.
