Handling HTML Form POST in Rev?

I'm not so sure it's a daft idea at all. I just didn't understand  
your original motive.

So you want to use HTML to *design* the forms (or, perhaps more  
accurately, to allow your users to design them) and then process the  
output via a Rev application. Interesting idea.

With altBrowser, I'm not sure you need to use the Web protocols to  
handle the form data. I haven't tried it -- and it would be worth  
querying Chipp and Chris at Altuit to see if I'm right here -- but I  
bet you could load an HTML form into altBrowser, then program a Rev  
button for the submission and just parse the data and route it to  
wherever you need it in Rev to do the analysis.

Of course, if you want a server or if it turns out you need one,  
certainly Andre's all-Rev Web server could be made part of the  
package you distribute and perhaps ease everything once you have it  
configured.

Keep us posted. Interesting project and intriguing approach.
