Subject: WWWLibrary_2.02-beta : Incompatibility fix; Literate programming
Reply-To: timbl@nxoc01.cern.ch
The 2.02 version of the library is marked "beta" to indicate that it
ought to work reliably and needs testing. Compatible line-mode
browser and daemon are available too as before. Sources are in
ftp://info.cern.ch/pub/www/src as usual.
Changes are
-----------
- Fix so that the HTTP client will fall back to old HTTP with servers
which don't like the HTTP extenstions. The incompatibility problem
of yeste
- A format called text/x-c which can be generated from hypertext.
www -to text/x-c xxxx.html > xxxx.h
will produce a formatted .h file with everything enclosed in
comments except for preformtted sections, which are treated as
code. This allows files like
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Library/Implementation/HTFormat.html
to be self-documenting source files.
Internal documentation.
----------------------
I have made a token bit of documentation on the library to explian
a few features using the above technique. I used
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Tools/HTMLGeneration/text2html.sed
to generate the html froim the .h files in the first place before
marking it up. Feedback on forms and content (but not extent which I
know is not much!) is welcome.
