Oh, sure -- Most of my QT/VR projects nowadays use QT's ability to
interact with server-
side scripts/databases. It's an _extremely_ powerful thing.
The problem is _security_ -- you can't use QT to POST data (only
GET). So, even if you
have a secure socket connection (a la JAVA or the like) your data
leaves QT in a visible
manner. GET also limits you in other ways.
Also, QT has some issues with displaying non-english text that it
receives (and then
manipulates via scripting). This is a big thorn in the side.
