WWW tools/utilities

• really new (updated actually): A tiny but usefull (IMO) http library and a command line tool to perform http queries (including PUT, DELETE, in addition to usual GET and HEAD and working through proxy). Fetch the distribution http-tiny-1.2.tar.gz (Gzipped tar file, 12k), or the http tool man page or the http lib man page or the README.
• updated A guest_book.tcl CGI guestbook script: now v1.11, updated to work with plain Tcl 8! (see it in action here)

  quite old infos...('cept the guest book)

• We use extensively the Tcl language and its extensions :
  • If you have Tk Plugin for Netscape, enjoy my Applets: Adaptive Optics principle simulation, Go Game board (goban) and the newer Pop Art tclets, etc...
  • Before you could have tried my fast http daemon but I had to shut it down when I left my previous place...
  • And likewise, my anonymous WWW HTTP proxy in tclbin+tcl7.5: A short description/announce is here (if you feel someone abused this service, please contact me). The Tcl source is here. You'll need tclbin package in addition to Tcl to run it.
  • I also used to run a cyber casino (with fake digital money but everything else was quite real) you can see it on my previous site if it's still running: Ecash Casino/'shop' tcl CGI ecash gambling software... more soon (drop by and play some CyberBucks though!)
  • geturl2.tcl (now 2.4) : Raw www client, all written in tclX a new version that works with any binary data.
  • geturl7.5.tcl (v 1.2) : Raw www client, all written in tcl7.5 a new version to test built in sockets support in tcl, no binary support though (ascii only, use the tclX version above for binary support...)
  • A simple test-cgi.tcl and another version really decoding parameters, using uncgi and processing POST/GET results into cgi() array: test-cgi2.tcl.
  • My uncgi (v2.1) proc
  • Infos about my W3 Tcl robot
  • Have a look also at my Specialized new technology Tcl httpd (in Tcl+TclX+tcl-dp+gdtcl, featuring server pushes, client pulled documents, animations, interactive animated game, Irc/WWW html chat gateway,... more infos there and here soon) (chosen on Jul 24th as Geek site of the day!).
  These software are also available on ftp://hplyot.obspm.fr/tcl/www/ (Though getting them from here shall be more convenient)
• For the NCSA httpd (now 1.4.1) to log the Referer and/or User-Agent fields in the main log (so its in synch and imo much more usable than in separate files like basic 1.4 does it). The patch is on ftp://hplyot.obspm.fr/www/ or directly here.
• When you want to bring down your server for maintenance or anything, you can put instead my auto busy answerer httpd.
• likewise to redirect when you move a server.
• sample of bad result due to unsafe cgi programming. (example of how it can be done, contact me for more infos).
• Prime factors decomposition CGI
• Traceroute CGI, with source (1.4) (sh CGI)
• see also my Software page.
• Changing fast page, come back often for new stuff!
