Does an R package exist that is similar to SAS/Intrnet
(http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/intrnet/index.html) that will
allow users to take parameters passed to it by a web request, produce results
and return them to the web-browser in HTML format? I tried looking through the
package descriptions, but didnt' see anything like this. Any direction or
suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I recall hearing about -- or was I just dreaming? -- a way to compile R as an apache module so it could stay in memory while the webserver was running. The alternative is to simply use cgi in perl or python or whatever to gather user input, execute R in batch mode, grab the output file and parse it into html. Lots of boiler-plate involved and I would be surprised if nobody has attempted this yet.

I would recommend Rapache. I have tested it and it works great. SAS/Intrnet is just CGI with another name. Best regards, Carlos J.
