[Info-vax] New OpenVMS hosted web site

[Jeffrey H. Coffield]

I have a new web site that is hosted on OpenVMS. It is:

	http://www.keepmeuptodate.net

It's far from finished (but when is a program or web site finished?) but
it's a start. The site allows you to register the technical books you
have and will send notifications when a new edition is available. Also
you can build a list of favorite authors, keep track of books you have
read and order the ones you haven't.

The html pages are all static pages that use JQuery to implement a REST
architecture so the active part of the server only gets http posts and
only returns XML. The server has two tiers with the first tier handling
static content and the second tier handling RMS database access and XML
generation. The two tiers are connected by FastCGI and both tiers are
written in OpenVMS Basic and take full advantage of OpenVMS cluster
capabilities.

Access to Amazon data is provided thru a separate gateway written in
Java which was developed in NetBeans based on code from Amazon and runs
as a separate process on OpenVMS.

Again, the site is far from finished and I welcome all comments and
suggestions on how to improve it.
