The fastest way to get started with MacHTTP is to run it, then browse the Read Me file with a WWW client. The MacHTTP ƒ folder contains all the necessary files and is preconfigured so MacHTTP starts up correctly . This guide assumes that MacTCP is already installed correctly on your Mac.
1. Double click MacHTTP to start it up. MacHTTP requires System 7.
2. Use a WWW client to open the URL "http://your.mac.name/". *see note below
3. Click on the MacHTTP documentation link and read the instructions.
4. Additional information can be found in the MacHTTP.config file (in the comments), in the sample HTML documents, and in the sample AppleScripts.
ABOVE ALL, READ THE "ReadMe.html" FILE!!!!! If you have trouble getting MacHTTP to run, you may still read this file by using the "Open Local" command in Mac Mosaic.
* The suggested way to do this is using NCSA's Mac Mosaic program. You can download Mac Mosaic from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu. Run Mac Mosaic and use the "Open URL" menu command in Mac Mosaic to enter the above URL (without quotes), supplying the full domain name of your Mac (or its IP address) in place of "your.mac.name." You can run Mosaic and MacHTTP on the same Mac if you have at least 2 megs of memory free.
If you are having trouble getting MacHTTP to run, simply use Mosaic's "Open..." command to open the ReadMe.html file directly from your hard disk without going through the MacHTTP server.
