[9fans] % $stem & $target in mk

[9fans] % $stem & $target in mk

[matt]

Hi,

crazily I've been using mk to build a website (trying to mimic SSI but
pre-request)

and I've run into a "shortcoming" with mk

this is something like my mkfile :

-------------------snip---------------------------------------

PAGES =  public_html/index.html public_html/news.html

all:V: $PAGES

nuke:V:
    rm -f $PAGES tmp/*

public_html/index.html: `{cpp -M src/index.html }
    makepage src/`{basename $target}  > $target

public_html/news.html: `{cpp -M src/news.html }
    makepage src/`{basename $target}  > $target


---------------------snip-------------------------------------



Whereas what would make like *much* easier would be if I could do this :

public_html/%.html: `{cpp -M src/%.html }
    makepage src/$stem.html > $target


but mk doesn't expand the % in `{}

Any magic I missed before hacking & slashing /sys/src/cmd/mk  ?

make a script, called mkrules:

	#!/bin/rc
	for(i in src/*.html)
		cpp -M $i | sed 's;^src;public; s;\$O:;:;'

include its output:

	<|mkrules

Thanks, this was perfect, as usual. Someone clone Russ please :>


btw. I've done a little  HTTP testing suite (nothing amazing) & popped
it in sources
I did it in a hurry & didn't package it up

/n/sources/contrib/maht/{httplib.rc tlspipeclient.c dechunk.c
getuserpasswd.c}

. httplib.rc

GET https://www.rangboom.com/

GET http://slashdot.org/ | dechunk


you choose to include dechunk in your pipeline if you need it (though it
is idempotent on non-chunked data (modulo speed)
getuserpasswd isn't used by httplib.rc but is handy for getting
passwords from factoum

it uses tee for logging to testlog in the current dir so watch out for
that :)

You might also be interested in the
(apparently undocumented) program
auth/userpasswd.

I would have expected $stem in there to be set (it isn't either).
