Web/2 v1.2 (c) 1997 dink (dink@ciholding.com / http://ciholding.com/dink)
What is Web/2?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Web/2 is a Web server (HTTPD as the unix folks know it) for OS/2 Warp v3
and v4. It uses separate threads for each connection so everything is
fast. Its made for people who 1) don't want a million files on their
hd (like the the other httpd's) and 2) don't want to spend a day trying
to get it configured.
Whats New?
^^^^^^^^^^
Access to other directories via ALIAS.CFG, check it out!
How do i set it up?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Just unzip it into a directory, like c:\web, make a dir under c:\web
called html, then copy all of your html/image/whatever files into
c:\web\html.
If you are using F.A.T. file allocation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You may use alias.cfg to alias your file names to whatever you want!
(edit alias.cfg with your favorite text editor for details..)
HPFS
^^^^
Use the hpfs parameter if you are running on an hpfs drive and want
to use long filenames. (ex: web 80 hpfs)
Running
^^^^^^^
Now, all you have to do is create a program icon with the following settings:
Path and Filename: c:\web\web.exe
Parameters: 80
Working Directory: c:\web
The parameter is the port to run the web server on, the standard Web port
is port 80. Change this number if you want otherwise.
Neat feature!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In your html file(s), you can include "<textcounter>" anywhere in the
file to use the built-in textcounter. If you want to change the number
of hits your page has received, edit counter.dat
For an example of how to use the textcounter, look at the enclosed index.htm
file.
Stuff
^^^^^
1) For using long filenames, you no longer have to use the alias.cfg
(allthough alias.cfg is still good for people like me who use F.A.T.)
2) Added a log-file (web.log)
3) Included the official Web/2 lizzard-guy-thinggy icon!
Thanks goes out to:
Allan Mertner for creating Virtual Pascal/2 and for suggestions on the log
file and other things.
Me, because without me, this wouldn't exist.
Sorry to the people who asked me to add CGI and usernames (/~user/blah.htm)
I didn't get around to it because i don't have the patience or motivation
to read through 1298412098 pages of RFC's and stuff. If anyone wants to
read these and summarize what i must do, be my guest :)
Other stuff

Criticism will be ignored.

Web/2 is freeware. If you'd like to send in a donation or something,
that would be cool (email me for my address)
If you have the following things laying around in a closet somewhere
and want to get rid of them, lemme know!
1] C64 Disk drive cable (one that hooks the c64 to the disk drive)
2] C64 "Epyx Fastload" cartrige
3] Roland TB-303 computer-controlled bassline synthesizer
(it looks like a little toy piano thinggy)
(i will pay cash for #3)
Even more stuff
