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 Matt
