- The 0.9b release of the basic WWW daemon (httpd) contains a few bug
- fixes, and the ability to browse directories. Note that the 0.9a
- release was buggy and should not be used (Thanks to Jon Streets/FNAL
- and Peter Lister/Cranfield for pointing this out.)
-
- The new release is available by anonymous FTP as usual on
- host info.cern.ch, in /pub/www/src/WWDaemon_0.9b.tar.Z.
- You also need /pub/www/src/WWWLibrary_1.0a.tar.Z.
-
- New in this release:
-
- - Directory browse: if a directory name is given,
- it is returned as hypertext. This is opional: it can
- be always enabled, always diabled, or enabled
- only for directories containing a file
- named ".www_browsable".
-
-
- - README inclusion: When a directory contains a
- README file, the file may be included either linked
- to the list with all the other files, or may have its
- text embedded before or after the list.
-
- By using these features, a WWW server can be set up to serve
- existing trees containing for example plain text files with
- very little effort.
-
- The online documentation gives the new command line options
- -dy -dn -ds -db -dt and -dr which control the directory browsing.
-
- (The server has been tested on the NeXT. Any bugs to me ASAP
- please!)
