This directory contains the source files for a DECthreads-based HTTP server.

Installation:
    First build the www_server executable, either by MMS with the descrip.mms 
    file or the build_xxxx.com command procedure.  The commands to do this
    are:

	(MMS)	$ MMS/MACRO=TCP=xxxx
	(DCL)	$ @BUILD_xxxx.COM

    where 'xxxx' is a code for the TCP package: UCXTCP, MULTINET, CMUTCP, TWGTCP

    Compile and link the script images using either one of the the commands:

	(MMS)	$ MMS all
	(DCL)	$ @BUILD_SCRIPTS.COM

    Verify that the server operates by invoking the HTTP_SERVER.COM with
    the following parameters:

	 @HTTP_SERVER.COM RUN SYS$OUTPUT/3 HTTP_SAMPLE_HOME.CONF 8000

    and then attempt to connect to the server (port 8000) using a WWW client.
    The "/3" appended to the second parameter sets the logging level to 3.
    The demonstrations (vmshelp and nagel23a) will not work until the
    DECnet proxy access is set up properly, view the HTML file
    documents/script_setup.html for hints on setting this up.
    Comments at the top of HTTP_SERVER.COM give detailed descriptions of
    the parameters it expects.

    It is strongly recommended that you run the server from a dedicated account
    in order to have better control over the process privileges and quotas.
    Note that running HTTP_SERVER from an account with a system UIC (group<8)
    implicitly gives the server SYSPRV privilege.

    Create a rules file for your site, using http_sample_home.conf as a 
    starting point.  The rules file format is similar to the CERN http server 
    format.  A summary of the rule file directives is included as comments 
    in the file http_sample_home.conf.  Note that part of the configuration
    file is embedded within http_server.com.

Releae notes:
    See the file aaareadme.release_notes for a summary of fixes and
    enhancments made to the various releases.
