GoServe 1.20
GoServe -- A Gopher Server for OS/2 2.x

Introduction
""""""""""""
'Gopher' is a client-server protocol designed for text location and
retrieval. It was designed at the University of Minnesota, and is
widely used; both clients and servers exist for most significant
operating systems. The Gopher protocol is described in documents
distributed by the University of Minnesota Microcomputer and Workstation
Networks Center.
'GoServe' is a Gopher server for OS/2. It is assumed that the reader is
familiar with Gopher concepts, and has access to a Gopher client.
GoServe allows processing of a variety of Gopher requests, using a
simple REXX filter to allow for customization. Multiple servers can be
started (using different ports), and an audit trail of requests and
actions can be recorded.
While running, a Presentation Manager display of GoServe activity is
shown. For control, a limit may be placed on the number of concurrent
requests that will be handled (hence limiting the load on the server
machine). Similarly, timeouts may be set to close connections after a
chosen total or inactive time. Certain GoServe operations can be
controlled remotely, if desired, using any Gopher client (or a utility
OS/2 program or CMD file).
Goserve is a 32-bit OS/2 application. It requires TCP/IP for OS/2 to be
installed and operational (either on a real network or using the
loopback driver).
