Hi all, I'm still trying to work my way through this, any help is much appreciated! If I use a web browser as my interface to users to search, is the form on the web page the origin? From what I've read, Z39.50 works by maintaining a connection, while using the web is stateless, so how does that work? Is it the case that I would have a web app. on the server that would act as the origin, and it would establish a connection with the target application? It would then communicate with the underlying database? Also, Sebastian wrote that: > A Z39.50 target is not really a web application. It's a separate protocol, > and has a separate network port number associated to it (210, where HTTP > generally uses 80). How would you implement that with a web form? Is the Melvyl Catalog at the California Digital Library an example of this in action? See http://128.48.120.7/mw/mwcgi.home Thanks, Stephen
