Hello,
I'm trying to use powtils to build an embedded web server. Powtils looks useful, but all links pointing to documentation are stale. Could anyone provide a valid link to powtils documentation, please? Available examples are small and do not describe the various functions and object types in detail.

Thanks,
Thierry.

Powtils has been abandoned by the original author for about 2+ years already. I still us a stable "working" release (v1.6.0.2), but trunk never worked or compiled for me. My copy works as-is, and I haven't found any really problems, but I also don't like using abandoned software - though I could fix one or two issues if they did come up. So I might suggest (and I'll probably follow my own advice soon), rather used something like fcl-web which is well maintained and used by many.

Here is a copy of the version of powtils I use:

http://opensoft.homeip.net:8080/~graemeg/pwu-1.6.0.2.tar.gz

As for documentation. As far as I know where was just a skeleton/template class documentation published on the original authors website. Further one had to simply ask in its mailing list or look at some of the examples to figure out how it works.

You could also try the "Internet Archive" and see if it maybe grabbed a copy of what existed a few years back.

http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

Simply type in the broken URL, and click the "Take me back" button - then see if there are any snapshots.

See: http://code.google.com/p/powtils/ - It appears that changes have been made as recently as Aug 06, 2011.

http://code.google.com/p/powtils/downloads/list - this link leads to v1.7.1, last updated Feb 2008

The above is not a recommendation - I have not attempted to use powutils and as Graeme suggests, the version I found might not compile. -------------- next part --------------
