It's not a browser plugin. It's a QPA plugin that creates a HTTP server.
Your App Code + Qt + QPA Plugin(Vaudeville) = Your App Code+HTTP Server
The Canvas drawing commands go over the HTTP/1.1 socket, where they are
rendered.
What I have are the draw commands mapped out. And I've written HTTP servers.
The work that needs to be done is as follows:
1. A http server (maybe libQxt's?) or I can do my own.
2. Someone needs to come up with the browser code to
a. resize the canvas to the browser size
b. inform the server what the canvas size is
c. send keystrokes and mouse moves to the server
Before people start talking about websockets, I'd like this to remain HTTP/1.1.
We can use 'continue' to keep the connection alive. This is for proxies. Also,
Qt doesn't support Websockets yet.

OK - I don't mind working on anything that allows me to distribute my Qt app as
a browser plugin. However, is there any documentation or HOWTO how to approach
this ? I currently have a conventional widget-based Qt-project (using qmake and
deploying it on Win,OS and Linux).
Any hint appreciated,
thanks
Alex

Subject: [Interest] Qt Browserplugin
Hello everybody,
in order to develop browser plugins based on Qt applications I played a lot
with qt browserplugin, for which the development got stuck in approx. 2009.
With the current Qt releases it must be considered either unstable or simpley
doesn't compile anymore.
Now I am wondering if with the release of Qt5 there might be other or new
options to develop a browser plugin with Qt ?
Any hints ?
Thanks in advance,
best
Alex
