Modified GoHTTP Modules and other Submissions


Several enterprising individuals have modified the external function modules I've packaged with GoHTTP, and added additional functionality to some of them.

Here are some of the versions from those who have decided to make them available for all to use:


Footer variations

Rodney Korte, (9 Sept, 1995)
Rod submitted his version FOOTER.RXX, which places a more verbose date in the form: "September 9, 1995 at 15:03". Also, it inserts the ServerAdmin as a MAILTO: URL

BuildDir variations

Rodney Korte, (9 Sept, 1995)
Rod also submitted his version BUILDDIR.RXX, which improves the HTML code a bit, providing smoother flowing pages. The best added feature, however, is his support for recognizing WebExplorer URL objects, and auto-linking to the address they represent.

Tim Tassonis, (20 April, 1996)
"ShowDir is a dynamic directory list processor for GoHttp V2.0, similar to [the original] BuidDir.Rxx by Albert Crowley (in fact, I stole most of my code from there)."

ShowDir features the following enhancements:

  • 32x32 VGA Icons with transparent background colour
  • Addition / Replacement of Icons / Types through external configuration file
  • Both Icon and Filename are clickable
  • Resolving of ZIP Archives similar to Directory List
  • Possibility of downloading a single file out of a ZIP Archive
The archive is available here: <SHOWDIR.ZIP>

DoIncl variations

V. Phaniraj, (21 Sept, 1995)
Raj has submitted this DOINCL.RXX module, which replaces the GoHTTP package's stock DoIncl.Rxx module. Raj's version supports NCSA-style server-side includes, which in my opinion is closer to the HTML specs than Mike Cowlishaw's server-side includes implementation. (Which is in the stock module...)

CGI

XCOUNT.CMD (by D.L. Meyer, 27 Sept, 1995)
XCOUNT.CMD is a REXX CGI script which yields an X-BITMAP counter image showing the number of accesses attributable to a page. [Usage info...]

(based on prior works by Patrick Erley, Wolfram Fassbender, & V. Phaniraj)
