C++ Cross Platform Application to Calculate Coordinates of Objects on Web Pages

**THIS PROJECT IS ON HOLD UNTIL MAY 2009. IT WILL BE RESUMED** C++ Cross Platform Application to Calculate Coordinates of Objects on Web Pages Create a multi threaded application to calculate the coordinates and size of one or more specified objects on a web page. The application should obtain its input (object and URL data etc) from a database and store its output in a database. There needs to be support for flexible scheduling of request execution. Configuration of this Application should be possible through a configuration file as well as through hard coding of the application. This project should not be too difficult for someone who knows what he/she is doing. No on-screen rendering is required or even desirable. The MAIN application has no GUI **Remarks: 1) It would be beneficial if you have a legitimate and verifiable commercial QT license that you are allowed to use to develop the monitoring/GUI part of this project. 2) It would be beneficial if you can test the project under OS/X. If you can't that is no problem as long as you don't write code that would be obvious to break the QT OS/X compatibility. 3) During this project you need to be regularly available on Skype to discuss details and progress. 4) Together with your weekly status report you are required to post a weekly backup of the source code and Qt designer files. As this is a $500 and above project we are allowed to communicate off site before we accept a bid. (see rentacoder rules) Please post your skype id as well as a good time to discuss this project together with your bid and an estimate of how many days you think you would need to complete this project. THANK YOU!** For the database use Postgresql. Important: This application should be 100% self contained single file executable, optimized for speed and rock solid stable. It will be running 24/7/365. **FULL PROJECT DESCRIPTION IN ATTACHED PDF FILE** ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows?
