One way I've tried to achieve this is to have a CGI on the webserver that sends a Pymol script to the client. If the client's browser has Pymol set up to recognise Pymol scripts, then it'll execute the script. This requires the CGI to set the MIME type type and to set the filename of the script to have the correct suffix (to make Explorer on Windows work properly). The downloaded script is then executed by Pymol, which can uses Python's socket abilities to download PDB files and run Pymol commands on them. Et volia! A little convoluted, and by no means as elegent as having a browser plugin, but it does allow you to use Pymol for visulation over the web. I've got the code for this kicking around somewhere, if anyone is interested then contact me and I'll look for it and stick it on the web. Taking the idea further, and musing idly, a server-client could be set up between the web server and the client to allow further communication. Of course all of this is completly insecure, although the Python code could be sandboxed. > Thanks, Einat. > > > Einat Sitbon > Department of Molecular Genetics > Weizmann Institute of Science > Tel: 972-8-9344911 > > To reply, please change the mmm in the reply-to address to hotmail > > _________________________________________________________________ > Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online > http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials > Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of > GenToo technologies.
