httpd0995 --- A www server for Minix 2 and Minix 3
|
||
|
|
written by Michael Temari <Michael@TemWare.Com> release 0.995 2006-05-14
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Httpd is a World Wide Web (WWW) server. I wrote it from scratch so
|
||
|
|
the setup and configuration will not be like other web servers though
|
||
|
|
hopefully by reading this document there will be no problems in getting
|
||
|
|
my web server up and running on your Minix system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Earlier versions of this web server were in use for many years on
|
||
|
|
minix1.hampshire.edu and minix1.bio.umass.edu.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installation: unpack the tarball in /usr/local/src or another directory
|
||
|
|
of your choice:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
zcat < httpd0995.taz | tar xvfp -
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An httpd0995 directory will be created and files will be unpacked
|
||
|
|
there. The README file explains compilation, installation,
|
||
|
|
configuration, and use. Please also read the SECURITY file if you plan
|
||
|
|
to make your system accessible over the net.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes for release 0.995:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- a redirect capability has been added. If redirect is defined in the
|
||
|
|
configuration file then all request url's will be redirected to that
|
||
|
|
host with the original request. For instance, if in the configuration
|
||
|
|
file of minix1.hampshire.edu this line appears:
|
||
|
|
redirect http://minix1.woodhull.com/
|
||
|
|
a request of http://minix1.hampshire.edu/some/page will return a 301 error
|
||
|
|
which is a redirect permanent to: http://minix.woodhull.com/some/page
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- several documentation files and man pages have been updated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes for release 0.994:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- calling CGI programs has been made more secure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes for release 0.993:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- a new method of authorizing proxy. You will no longer need the Proxy
|
||
|
|
entry in Auth and can remove the http://* entry in vpath. The old way
|
||
|
|
allowed for having different authorizations depending on what URLs were
|
||
|
|
asked for via proxy, i.e., you could allow proxy access only to
|
||
|
|
http:://www.hampshire.edu/. Now it is just a simple authorization for
|
||
|
|
allowing proxy or not.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- avoids using a Minix 2.0.3 library call that was not present in Minix
|
||
|
|
2.0.2, and thus can be compiled with either of the two most recent
|
||
|
|
Minix releases.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- a -v option has been added to display the current version then exit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- man pages added, other documentation updated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes for release 0.99: You can set a default in the httpd.mtype
|
||
|
|
file. A mime type with no extensions on a line will be the default.
|
||
|
|
Previously recompilation was needed to change the default mime type.
