Crap. How do I explain this...

Every time I talk to an iCustomer, I get a different definition of "web
app". I have one that says if it runs in a browser, it is a web app. That
means, iSeries Access for the Web is a "web app". I have another that says
webfacing is a web app. Most of them are refaced green screens doing nothing
more than what the green screen did. I have others that say a web app has a
fat client so I can deliver a rich experience. I have others that say it
must be layered, and delivered over the internet into a browser.

Which one is it?

I made the point about iPhone (sarcastically without identification) being a
Web app, because I have had people tell me that kind of crap. Several people
jumped on it, and said that. I agree that it is not a web app.



Let me say this again.
Isn't this a new take on the old "shove a pig up some lipstick" trick?

I started with something that you MUST have been able to take as silly, then
you get all over me because I did not use the word "internet"? It must be a
serious day in midrange-L land..

Sorry Trev but I don't think so.

The app needs "the internet" not "the web." The web and the internet
are indeed NOT the same thing, since "the web" really consists of
communications with HTTP/HTTPS.

If said box is only running telnet, it isn't a "web" server.

Hence the emulator is not a web app.
