Randall,

Thanks to the magic of gmane, I was able to dig up this thread (and link to 
the forum) which this seems based upon.

It's a little bit of ancient history now, as Rev is moving forward on two 
fronts. First we are definitely going to have a Web plugin. And second, 
we're going to be stepping up the server scripting (which we've long had) so 
that you can mix snippets of Rev code within your HTML.

We just sent out an announcement for RunRevLive.09, a conference we'll be 
holding in Edinburgh this coming September. At this conference we'll be 
officially launching Rev 4.0, which includes this technology. If you didn't 
get this email, contact support @ runrev.com so you can get in on it. Not 
only can they give you a coupon code [expires Dec 31] which will save you 
60% off the conference admission, but you'll be able to download and use the 
current development build of the plugin. The conference site is at:

To answer your questions, Rev already has the commands you need to set up 
the kind of multi-user system you want. The main improvements Rev 4.0 will 
bring are on the distribution front (you can embed your stack in a web page, 
instead of building a standalone executable), and on the implementation 
front (being able to mix Rev code in with your HTML is easier than putting 
up full CGIs). The specific answers to your questions will be in how you 
decide to architect things. For example, whether cookies will suffice, or 
whether you'll want to have some kind of database back-end to track things. 
You can communicate between clients and server using anything from simple 
URL parameters, to POST data, to direct TCP or UDP connections. It all 
depends on what you're needs are, what your trying to do, and what you want 
the user experience to be.
