I've been playing with httpd this evening and done what I think is a useful
script.
What it does is take the command line options and HTTP headers and put them
all in environment variables.
I did this to facilitate shell scripted web pages.
It works by adding :
rfork E
/bin/ip/httpd/populate_environment.rc $*
to the top of any web serving scripts and then the HTTP Headers etc. can be
accessed through /env
the example script uses html_encode.sed, which is a very low quality cut and
pasted html entity encoder (supplied)
I'm also including url_encode.awk which is nothing to do with this but
useful all the same
For as long as I am on this IP address you can see it in action at
http://pc1-nott2-3-cust35.not.cable.ntl.com/magic/http_info.rc
suggestions / criticisms welcome

The following attachment had content that we can't
prove to be harmless. To avoid possible automatic
execution, we changed the content headers.
The original header was:
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
name="html_encode.sed"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="html_encode.sed"

Is httpd ported to Plan9? Is that what you are using?
Just curious. Right now I have been doing things with
php under Slackware but would prefer Plan9.

no, ip/httpd is it's own thing not Apache, no PHP here
man 8 httpd
or

You have another option:
Look http://plan9.aichi-u.ac.jp/pegasus/eman-1.0/
I am afraid that document is poor.
Writing English is hard work for me.

Your English looks and reads clear to me. Nice job
setting it up. It will take me a while to take it
all in.
My reason for using php and Sablotron is to present
web pages dynamically and keep content (XML) separate
from style (XSL).
Here is a link to a web site I have set up to
experiment and learn with. Sorry that this does not
directly pertain to Plan9 now but as I said, if I can
find a way to accomplish the same thing with Plan9
I will give it a go.

I did a port of the inferno browser (charon) to
plan 9, and called it "i". Unfortunately, other
obligations have prevented me from getting all
of the bugs out.
Does anyone out there want to take up the guantlet
and finish the job? I put the sources in
the public source tree, under contrib/i , and
would be happy to correspond with, and lightly
collaborate with, anyone willing to solidify the port.
The current state is that it often works, but
there is some kind of bug in the table layout code
(and doubtless, other bugs). And perhaps the biggest
problem, for a modern browser, is that it doesn't
do javascript at all. The port was done before
Javascript support got added to charon.

I'm very interested. I've you've read any of my other posts, you'll
have noticed that I'm looking for a good browser under Plan 9.
Unfortunately, I can't access the public source tree, as I can't dial
out (for now). (Any latest development on the Lucent WinModem
drivers?) Anyway, would you be so kind as to e-mail me a copy of the
sources? Thanks much!
Ben
