[HECnet] Web-server under RSX-11M-PLUS

[Steve Davidson]

Johnny,

Could it be ported to RSTS/E V10.1?   That's what PLUTO:: is.

This is perhaps slightly offtopic, but fun enough that I like 
to announce it anyway...

Ok. I just thought I'd stir some interest and just general 
noise by announcing that I've written a small web-server 
running under RSX.
It's written in BASIC+2, and uses the TCP/IP stack for RSX 
that I've also written. There are probably a bunch of bugs 
and issues still around, so I'm happy to take any bug 
reports, comments or whatever.

The url is http://madame.update.uu.se/, and if anyone is 
curious about the code, it's at mim.update.uu.se (same 
machine, other IP), under MIM::DU:[HTTPD]WWW.B2S (also on HECnet)

If people have any interest in this stuff, or something 
else/more, I'm interested in hearing about it. The TCP/IP 
stack will eventually (soon) be available for others to 
download and use, and apart from the web server, I've also 
written a telnet client, and a few small services under TCP, 
as well as some tools for administration. I have some 
polishing to do, I need to finish a DNS resolved, and I'd 
like to also finish FTP and a telnet server, but I might be 
open to distributing things before I've finished all those 
things, especially if someone is interested in helping writing stuff.

I have interfaces completed for BASIC+2, PDP-11 C, Macro-11. 
FORTRAN 77 should also work, but I haven't tried it yet.

This all runs under RSX-11M-PLUS V4.6, but I think it should 
be possible to get running under almost any M+ version, but 
there might be some hacking needed for some versions.
It will not work under 11M, and I never expect it to. One or 
two drivers as well as one or two tools really are big enough 
that I need to use the split I/D space feature in M+. 
Rewriting stuff to not need that is way too much work.

        Johnny
