FYI, this is a basic feature of Charlie architecture we develop for more 
than two years. What is called Charlie engine can run either on the 
server or the client side and can communicate with application servers 
or other Charlie engines. Charlie engine includes JavaScript 
interpreter, Sablotron XSLT processor (developed for purposes of this 
project originally) and Perl libraries. On the client side, we have 
experimented with Charlie engine appended to Mozilla (through a local 
CGI interface called Protozilla). On the server side, it works as a 
mod_perl handler for Apache.

As Charlie can act as both http server and client, the proxy scenario 
has been supposed to be a common one from the beginning. However, all 
production sites based on Charlie employ it on the server side so far; 
in the same manner as common XML-based application frameworks. We make 
use of Charlie's proxy-like capabilities in some cases, but we haven't a 
real-world client application yet.

You can look at http://www.gingerall.org/charlie/ga/xml/p_ch.xml for 
more details if you want. Charlie is an Open Source software available 
under the MPL.

Cheers,
Petr
