    By moving to the Web you may have to change the protocol between your server and client to something that a typical browser supports, which probably means HTTP-based. The server would be affected by such a change. AFAIK client-side code is usually Javascript (because it is supported out of the box by every browser that matters). PHP, Ruby on Rails, etc, are for server-side scripting.

    You would probably also deliver a static web page that then uses web socket to connect to a QWebSocketServer in your Qt code to do the actual chat communication.

    The word QWebSocketServer in my previous comment and this one is actually a link to the documentation of that class, which contains further links, e.g. one to an example using it.
