Hi. I saw that there were several web server implementations in Squeak, and I was wondering; does anyone know if it is possible/ have any experience running Squeak "headless" as a web server? That is, with no window, all input coming through web sockets etc.
This would be important as the web server machine(s) I would consider do not have any windowing system installed (they are HP and Sun workstations running HPUX and Solaris).
No worries. The Unix sources have a compiler flag "HEADLESS" that stubs out all X related code. So one can prepare an image using a normal VM (on any platform) and then run it under a headless VM.
