Abstract

The purpose of this project was to develop a client-server chat system that was fully integrated into the World Wide Web. QChat, the resulting application, includes features like multiple channels, multiple servers, and many others. It combines technologies such as Java, HTML, and CGI to achieve full Web integration. The application consists of three parts - client, server, and an HTML interface that is in turn linked to CGI programs. The Client and the server were written in Java, while the CGI programs were written in ANSI C.
