- What is PictServerPro
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- PictServerPro is an ACGI application that runs on your WebStarâ„¢ compatible
- web server. It works by either setting up suffix maps of PICT, TIFF, EPSF,
- and Movie files, or processing HTML forms so that they are processed by
- PictServerPro before being returned to the clients.
-
-
- What Does It Do
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- PictServerPro converts PICT, TIFF, EPSF Previews, and Movie Poster Frames
- to JPEG's, GIF's or Interlaced GIF's on the fly when requested by a client
- of your web server. No actual conversion of the files is done on disk --
- the original image is not affected in any way.
-
- The list of supported file types and corresponding suffixes is as
- follows:
-
- Suffix File Type What happens to it?
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- .PICT PICT File Converted to JPEG using QuickTime.
- .PITN PICT File Converted as .PICT files are, but then made
- into a thumbnail image.
- .PICG PICT File Converted to GIF using QuickTime.
- .PTNG PICT File Converted as .PICG files are, but then made
- into a thumbnail image.
- .TIFF RGB/BW TIFF File Converted into a JPEG image.
- .TFTN RGB/BW TIFF File Converted into a JPEG image then a thumbnail.
- .TIFG RGB/BW TIFF File Converted into a GIF image.
- .TTNG RGB/BW TIFF File Converted into a GIF image then a thumbnail.
- .EPSF EPSF File The PICT preview is converted to a JPEG.
- .EPSG EPSF File The PICT preview is converted to a GIF.
- .MOVJ QT Movie File The movie's poster frame is made into a JPEG.
- .MVTN QT Movie File The movie's poster frame is made into a
- thumbnail and then into a JPEG.
- .MOVG QT Movie File The movie's poster frame is made into a GIF.
- .MTNG QT Movie File The movie's poster frame is made into a
- thumbnail and then into a GIF.

- How Do I Use It
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- A sample reference to a PICT file from within an HTML file might look like:
- <img src="mypicture.pict">
-
- You can also reference the images directly from the URL:
- http://www.mycompany.com/mypicture.pict
-
- You can also send HTML forms to PictServerPro and have it serve images
- based on data in certain fields of the form. The two main fields are
- "FileName" and "DefaultPath". By putting a valid name in the field named
- "FileName" and it's full path in "DefaultPath", the image will be returned.
- You can use "[[SERVERPATH]]" in the "DefaultPath" field to have
- PictServerPro start the path at the WebServer's root directory. An example
- might be - "[[SERVERPATH]]Images:" and "mypicture.pict". You can also set
- PictServerPro up to ignore suffixes and use the MacOS file types. This
- is especially useful when using HTML forms.
-
- All field names and suffixes can be changed to whatever suits your needs
- best.
