This is very cool, keep us posted on your progress! I am thinking of
trying to write an IRC client in Pd. Then there could be an embedded
IRC client in Pd-extended that is tied into the help system. You
click a link on a help patch, it opens a chatroom and posts the
context of the patch to the chatroom. That would help out the
newbies, who often have trouble knowing what to ask.

Here's my unfinished attempt at a web server. It will send a file
"index.html" to a browser. It uses the string patch to pd and the
str object, which can handle ascii without pd interpreting it along
the way. It may be possible to do it using other objects. The main
problem is the detection of special characters like CRLF in the
request. The content-length field is not necessary if you close the
connection after sending the data, so you don't need to know how
long the data is going to be before you start. I think I have done
that in a later version that I can't find right now...Obviously the
index.html file could also be generated by pd, and then it would
all be more interesting.Martin
