Finally done

At last, we have finished everything, at least as far as Mumbai University is concerned. That means we have finished a decent amount of code, written a report and made a presentation for an external examiner.

We finally figured out a way to call ASP objects without having to break our heads on irritating string handling. All we had to do was define wrappers to the functions and define objects including pointers to these wrappers as member functions.

We managed to write implementations for the calls Response.Write(), Response.Flush() and Request.QueryString(). Fortunately, all of these work.

The project report was also completed in LaTeX, and almost miraculously, the bound reports were received, although very late, just in time for the presentation.

The presentation itself was written in HTML and JavaScript.

Fortunately, we had a very nice lady, the principal of MET college, as the external. She turned out to be very knowledgeable, and was very impressed with our project. So that turned out to be way cool.

Let's hope we find the time to complete this project in the future.

Great Progress

We have been making excellent progress in our project. for starters we have manged to use the SpiderMonkey API to execute JavaScript. However, this does not take care of loops. So, we had to build loops ourselves, before sending them to SpiderMonkey. Fortunately, we managed this too. However that still leaves HTML embedded in the loops. This will take a little bit of thought, and the code is in a major mess.

At the same time, we have managed to write ASP scripts to a file and get them executed with the asp-perl command-line utility. This is a major breakthrough. Now, this has to be integrated into the main code.

At the same time the documentation is nearly complete. The onkly bits left have to do with stuff we haven't done yet.

Let's hope we finish everything quickly.
