Re: web-based mud client

I downloaded a copy of QuickMUD this morning and hacked a quick and
dirty HTTP server into it, altered it to output HTML colors, then
wrote a simple client in html and javascript.

It actually works pretty well, other than commands lag a bit (since
each command has to make a new HTTP connection).
