~b~12,4 Web Server Notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Credit: Thanks to Roberto for the PWS config dialog,
|
||
|
|
99.9% of the work is his.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The web server setup is a graphical configuration
|
||
|
|
for the freely available web server called
|
||
|
|
mathopd. It's run/controlled via kSirc and
|
||
|
|
I've some fun running it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Couple notes to remember, you cannot use ports
|
||
|
|
< 1024. I'm not going to run anything as root,
|
||
|
|
since running a web server is dangerous enough,
|
||
|
|
much less giving potential root access away.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/url command will show you a valid url
|
||
|
|
for you sure. Replace <port> with the port(s)
|
||
|
|
that the web server is running on.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~b~12,4 MDI Mode
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Credit: Timothy Whitfield, ported the MDI interface
|
||
|
|
from kEirc into a generic MDI interface for KDE.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, if you want to use it, here's a bunch of
|
||
|
|
problems I've already seen:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Acelerator keys are all messed up. pgup/dn
|
||
|
|
is a good example. It just doesn't work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. If you minimize something, you have to
|
||
|
|
double click on the channel name in the server
|
||
|
|
controller to bring it back.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. You cannot minimize the server controller.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. You can drag windows off the screen in never
|
||
|
|
never land.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm personally not a big fan of the MDI interface
|
||
|
|
but I'll work on making it work right as time permits.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~b~12,4 OTHER Stuff
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There's been a bunch of bug fixes everywhere.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cut & paste now cleans up correctly most of the time now.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
New release notes box, I think it's useful. What do
|
||
|
|
you think?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Caption should be more useful now. I think this is the
|
||
|
|
best way to display the topic on the screen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Server controller is in and needs some more work. Basic
|
||
|
|
idea works well though.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/help now displayes all possible functions, instead of just
|
||
|
|
built in ones. Shows all kSirc commands as well.
