] * * For URLs matching this format, it pipes the output of * man

through rman and sends it to * the HTTP client. For other URLs, it returns the document * given as argv[1] (using cat(1). The leading /man is * optional, but is strongly recommended. * * This server is shipped as two files, the http-rman.c * sources and the http-rman.html sample frontpage. I have * not included a Makefile; you can write your own or just * type [g]cc -o http-rman http-rman.c * * What do I need to run this: * If you don't have it, pick up RosettaMan by anonymous ftp * from ftp.cs.berkeley.edu: /ucb/people/phelps/tcl/rman.tar.Z * * You'll also need an HTTP client such as NCSA Mosaic to talk * to this server. Mosaic is available by anonymous FTP from * ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Mosaic * * Both RosettaMan (rman) and Mosaic are available from many * other sites. Try Archie, or check your local or national net * archive. * * How do I get it running: * First, compile the server (see above), and install it * somewhere. * * The server runs under inetd(8). Add a service to * /etc/services, say: * * http-rman 4080/tcp * * If you're not about to install another HTTP server on your * machine, you may use the default HTTP port, 80, instead. * * Then add an entry to /etc/inetd.conf, such as (on a single line): * * http-rman stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/http-rman * http-rman /usr/local/lib/rman/http-rman.html * * Change /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib/rman to where you * installed the two files. In addition, you may wish to run * the server as something other than root... * * Restart inetd(8) (use kill -HUP or kill it and start it again) * and try the following: * * $ Mosaic http://localhost:4080 * * If you don't have Mosaic, try the following instead: * * $ telnet localhost 4080 * Trying 127.0.0.1... * Connected to localhost. * Escape character is '^]'. * GET /man?ls * * HTTP/1.0 200 OK * ... * * Portability: * You'll need an ANSI compiler (or an editor and some patience). * As it stands right now, this code has been successfully * compiled on OSF/1 AXP using cc, and on SunOS 4.1 using gcc. * Might need some tuning for other platforms. * * Legal Issues: * Check the external visibility of the http-rman service * you choose. This server gives a user access to ALL man- * pages on your machine. You may have installed copyrighted * software (your operating system, for example) with * man-pages that you are NOT allowed to make visible for * anyone out there... * * History: * 94-04-30 fl: created * 94-05-13 fl: stripped away everything but rman support * * Copyright (c) Fredrik Lundh 1994 (fredrik_lundh@ivab.se) * All rights reserved. */ #include /* printf(), fflush(stdio) etc */ #include /* strrchr(), strcmp() etc */ static int http_error(int error) { char *p; switch (error) { case 400: p = "Bad Request"; break; case 404: p = "Not Found"; break; default: p = "Error"; } printf("HTTP/1.0 %d %s\r\n", error, p); printf("MIME-version: 1.0\r\n"); printf("Content-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n"); printf("%d %s\r\n", error, p); printf("
