httpd - the NAT32 Web Server

httpd [port] &
hstat [local | private | public | acl | [d|D] | [l|L]]

Command httpd starts the NAT32 HTTP server at the specified port (default 8080), & denotes background mode.

The HTTP Server can serve files from the current directory and execute NAT32 commands.
It understands the following HTML syntax:

href="shell?cmd=command+arg+arg..."

where command is any valid NAT32 command and +arg+arg... is its argument list.

The command is executed after its STDOUT and STDERR devices have been redirected to the open TCP connection. This causes the output to be sent to the browser, where it is displayed in a fixed-width font. If the command emits HTML code, the browser will render that code.

Commands that read from STDIN should not be specified, as STDIN is not redirected.

Command hstat is used to set httpd access rights and to turn debugging and logging on or off.

The following access right settings are supported:

local	allow access from 127.0.0.1 (localhost) only (default)
private	allow access from private networks only
public	allow access from anywhere, including the Internet
acl	allow access from IP addresses listed in file httpd.acl only

The file httpd.acl contains a list of IP addresses, with one address per line.

Option D turns debugging output on, d turns it off.
Option L turns logging on, l turns if off.
Debug and Log output can be redirected using the standard shell redirection mechanism.
