- For all of you that want to take the information about the
- web on the plane with you and don't have a modem for your airphone,
- or for those who simply love the rustle of paper, here are some of
- the key documents about the web and how it works in paper form.
-
- Each document is in available postscript (.ps) and also in plain
- ASCII text (.txt) form, in the anonymous FTP archive site at
- info.cern.ch. (FTP to info.cern.ch, log in as "anonymous", give your
- user@host as password, then change directory to pub/www/doc )
-
- line-mode-guide.ps Instructions for running the line-mode
- client
-
- www-server-guide.ps Instructions for running a server
-
- http-spec.ps The HTTP protocol used by new W3 servers
-
- html-spec.ps The Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
-
-
- The last three have recently been revised.
-
- If anyone has any comments on these, please send them to me or
- to the www-talk@info.cern.ch discussion list if you are a member.
- The HTML and later the HTTP specs are headed in the Internet
- Draft - RFC direction so comment at this stage is appreciated.
- The documents are all generated from the hypertext, and so
- apart from the specs which are designed to be linear documents, they
- made read a little strangely. None of them is perfect, but the
- pressure has been so high for printed documentation that we
- distribute them as they are.
