I am looking for a remote blogging/file upload tool to be written in both PHP4 (server side) and Visual C++ (client side). The communications between the client and server should be in XML using either SOAP or XML-RPC over http with SSL. All code must be documented as well as the communications protocol. For the server side all I am looking for is the basic framework to handle the clients&' functions as most of it will be rewritten. The client must compile cleanly (without any errors) under Visual Studio .net 2003 Professional. The client must also be able to work on Windows 2000/XP with out the .net services. For the most part I am looking for a cross between blogjet/[login to view URL] and gallery remote. Details on the client include; Ability to login and authenticate from the server. Once the server authenticates a username/password it will send a authentication token to be passed for authentication during every other transaction until a logoff (http sessions). a resizable interface similar to blogjet/[login to view URL] (normal and code views). Blog specifics; +add/edit/delete categories +add/edit/delete items +ability to pull a list of categories and item from the server and display it in a side menu (like outlooks folder menus) Album specifics; +queued multiple image/file upload +the client needs to be able to check the servers max upload size ("post_max_size" in PHP) and give an error before it tries the upload +file uploads need to be done one at a time +drag'n'drop support +add/edit/delete/move album +nested album support +image preview at client +image resizing at client +add/edit captions +rotate your photo (in 90 degree increments) +highlight a album/photo (pick a photo to represent the album in the main Gallery) +hide albums/photos (offline support) +sort your album based on popularity, title, number of comments, and photo capture date
