Description: Attached is version 1.3 of MacHTTP, the WWW server for Macs. This version
of MacHTTP contains some substantial enhancements over previous versions.
New features include:
AppleScript and AppleEvent support
- MacHTTP now ships with the runtime portions of AppleScript, making
scripting available to all users. The AppleScript extensions distributed
with MacHTTP are for use with MacHTTP and cannot be copied to or used on
other machines without MacHTTP.
- MacHTTP is now fully scriptable and recordable. Use AppleScript to view
MacHTTP's dictionary for more details.
- Several new AppleEvents have been added to allow MacHTTP to be monitored
and configured from a remote workstation.
User Interface Enhancements
- Text can be copied from the status window using normal copy and paste
functions.
- MacHTTP now logs information on file sizes and displays a running total
of bytes transmitted since the server was launched.
New Functions
- MacHTTP now supports "multi-threaded" transfers for TEXT and BINARY
files. This means that MacHTTP now transfers multiple files simultaneously
to more than one client.
- PIG_DELAY and DUMP_BUF_SIZE commands have been added to the config file
to allow users to fine tune MacHTTP's behavior for use over slow networks
connections or on busy Macs.
- A VERSION command was added to MacHTTP for use in the config file. This
ensures that MacHTTP's config file matches the version of the software
being run.
Bug Fixes
- Spurious transmission of CR/LF at the end of some binary files has been
removed. This should correct problems with sending some types of files to
Windows and Mac clients.
- MacHTTP can now correctly launch aliases to applications.
