@despens

Well, I had the "pleasure" to test a local business app on a PC:

It started an Apache webserver,

that reverse-proxied to a Tomcat servlet container.

which built the web interface and forwarded the parameters

to CGI-BIN .exe

which had its business logic implemented in COBOL.

Accessed with the local webbrowser (IE, back then, of course) that was started from the same .BAT file.

And don't get me started with ABAP servlet pages (well, that's probably more like peak atrocities)

@despens It brings back memories of using Wine to run Internet Explorer with Citrix integrated for work-time tracking at an arts university. The ironic part? The company that won the contract for the work-time tracking software did so because it was browser-based—except the only browser they supported was IE on Windows. ;((
