Allright! Just created a sort-of ActiveX HTTP-Server Control in VB. This control runs within a Groove Tool. Works fine... This looks a bit like Groove's Edge Services: one can connect to the HTTP-server running within the Groove shared space. The HTTP-Server returns - for now - the contents of a Groove Discussion Tool. Off course the server could return any Tool from the shared space. Better even:  data can be send to the HTTPServer Tool using GET/POST....  And so I did: I created a new Discussion entry - just by sending a GET to my tool. When this tool is running you can connect to this tool by surfing here..

Thanks Hugh for brilliant idea! Indeed.... Cassini... But.... Nowhere to be found... Ok, it's the project prviously known as Saturn. Just released as the Web Matrix. Doh. No source...(yet?)

So... what is Hugh's suggestion? Hugh suggests creating a Groove Tool which acts as a HTTP-server to 'publish' content from a Groove shared space. But... can't find the damn Cassini-source code. Maybe just as good: creating a little HTTP-server in VB is also only 10 lines of code, hahaha! And that's exactly what i did: i created an ActiveX control which acts as a VERY simple HTTP-server: the ctl just listens on a port for connections and responds with some preset string (ie: some HTML describing contents of the Groove shared space)
