I agree very much with you. What is needed is a simple HTTP server written
in Ada so we don't ended up married to Explorer.
So far the only workable solutions along these lines (an app on the desktop
producing dynamic browser contents from Ada) with out an HTTP server I have
been able to produce uses COM bindings to MS Internet Explorer. A while back
Robert Leif sent me a message about trying to do this sort of thing with Ada
(Sorry RL, I didn't produce an answer yet), but it seems the only reasonable
non-Microsoft way is to embed a very simple HTTP server in the Ada code.
It would also be possible to set up connections between JavaScript and Ada
using either AdaApplettes or TCP/CORBA/COM connections to Ada code from a
Java proxy to the JavaScript.

PS. I wish I had the time to throw together a little http server (it isn't
that much work) for Ada, but I am swamped right now including working to get
out a more robust and concrete release of COM tools for Ada. If anyone takes
up this project let us know!
