It's not my job to keep up with every script ever written. I go where the money is (and that's the client side where JS is concerned). ;)

The way I would do it is to write an ActiveX object (in either VC ++ or VB) that handles all of the socket IO and instantiate it from a shell script. .NET could be used for the middle piece as well, but I never got into that. Such applications can be run from the command line, other Windows applications and even Office macros. These possibilities have existed for some time (over a decade), but I have no idea who (if anyone) has used them to create an HTTP or IRC server.

Indeed. luckily this part is already written. Of course JScript.NET could be used to write it for WScript to use. But that would be a bit weird I think. > Such applications can be run from the command > line, other Windows applications and even Office macros.

Not certain of the HTTP server though. I'd have to dig through the web archive at some old ASP + sites (or whatever it was called backed then).

So, a server in JScript, you say ? yeah, hahahaha, good joke... that explains it all about you two. (deep smell of windows) -- Jorge.
