[Info-vax] HTTP/2 stole my Applet

[Richard Maher]

For those of you who've been following on along at home all these years, 
and may have a passing interest in what I was talking about, you can 
find the source-code for my Applet at 
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B7Rmd3Rn8_hDY0RkbWwtVV9DdDg&usp=sharing 


For those of you who are new, my Applet facilitated the following 
UA/Browser<->Application Server functionality: -

- Single-Signon without session-hijackable cookie bollocks?

- Single, persistent network connection across multiple active tabs in a

browser instance?

- Full-on synchronous of asynchronous I/O capability?

- 1:M relationship between messages sent to received?

- Retention of server-affinity if/when needed?

- Run-time discovery of Application Servers

- Takes up 0px by 0px GUI real estate

- Dependency injection on the Handshake/authentication logic

- and much much more . . .

Anyway, I may be the last person on the planet to admit Applets are dead 
but I'm sure I'm not the only one who shed a tear at their passing.

For the Javascript people this is how Tier3Client was instantiated: -

       try {
         t3Client = new Tier3Client(
                        "Demo", "http://192.168.1.159/Applets/",
                        2048, 1022, kickOff, epicFail, "ISO-8859-1", 
"N", Tier3Client.GUIAWT,
                        null,Tier3Client.WARNING);
       } catch (err){
             alert((err.description||err.message));
         throw err;
       }

This example can be found in Randomator.html and the object code can be 
found in Tier3Client.js.

PS. If anyone knows a half decent lawyer who operates on contingency 
fees please send him my way. HTTP/2 has a lot more than persistent, 
multiplexed, TCP/IP connections but I can tell you that that the 
similarity of algorithms involved is far greater and more substantial 
than the first few bars of "Stairway to Heaven"!
