NAME ^

examples/io/httpd.pir - HTTP server

SYNOPSIS ^

    % ./parrot examples/io/httpd.pir

DESCRIPTION ^

A very tiny HTTP-Server. It currently only understands the GET method. It's a nice way of testing pretty much all io functions.

By default it binds to localhost:1234, and serves the HTML Documentation in ./docs/html. Make sure you have built them with

    % make html

After that you can browse the documentation with

    http://localhost:1234

which redirects to

    http://localhost:1234/docs/html/index.html

Currently the URL isn't decoded, so the docs get served only partially.

Make sure that PARROT_NET_DEVEL is set to 1 in io/io_private.h when parrot is built or the network layer won't exist.

TODO ^

make it work on W32/IE

Transcode the received string to ascci, in order to have access to an implemented 'index' op.
