Francois, thanks for bringing these up. I think I will give your
CodeGen a spin for generating http submit forms on an embdded target
with a lua-http server instance. I haven't looked yet if you have any
pre-existing templates.

I had a late night IM discussion once with daurnimator about his
lua-http server. I was looking for the words to describe templating
and frameworks. I asked him what "scripting language" he was using
with the server and he did the IM equivalent of looking at me like I
had three heads ("um... Lua?"). I don't want a full web MVC stack so
something small like CodeGen or cosmo is appealing.
