- Turns out that using a rule file in waisgate is a Big Win. I have a
- rule file that looks like this:
-
- map /n/abyss/2/doc/rfc-src/* http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu:82/rfc/*.html
- map /n/dinosaur/0/doc/text/* http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu:80/hypertext/*
- map /n/abyss/2/doc/man-src/* http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu:80/man/*
- map /usr/spool/news/* http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu:80/usr/spool/news/*
-
- I changed WAISGate to tear the WAIS docid apart and pass the
- distributor local path to HTTranslate. If it matches, it gets
- rewritten. If rewritten, the address is used as is, else it goes
- through the usual waisgate things. This way I can index things that
- are really served through a gateway of some sort (eg, a rfc converter
- that we just wrote).
-
- I'll post the stuff next week sometime. If you're interested, see
- <A HREF="http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu:80/hypertext/information/information.html">.
- There are the usual links to things there, plus hypertext versions of
- man pages, RFCs, IENs and FAQ's from news.answers. Tom's working on
- something to parse the FAQ files into something more reasonable. I'm
- working on a gateway for our problem reporting system (so that a
- hypertext article about our current status could refer people to
- problem reports for more details) and other misc. stuff. If you have
- comments or suggestions, we'd love to hear them!
-
- Does someone have stuff for converting emacs info to html? I thought
- I saw some references to something, but can't find them now.
