Re: GTK -why not

[Jason Barnett <jasbarne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess it depends on what you mean by web-based.  If you mean you want 
to have a GTK frontend that connects to a web server, that would 
certainly be possible.  If a user had PHP/GTK loaded onto their (client) 
machine there's no reason why you couldn't send them a script that 
connected to your web server.  Remember - even though PHP usually gets 
invoked by the web server, it does not HAVE to be invoked by the web 
server e.g. PHP-CLI

This cannot be done through the http protocol. Neither can anything be pushed out from the server without the client requesting it first.
