Tiny Web server
Dave O'Hallaron
Carnegie Mellon University

This is the home directory for the Tiny server, a 200-line Web
server that we use in "15-213: Intro to Computer Systems" at Carnegie
Mellon University. Tiny uses the GET method to serve static content
(text, HTML, GIF, and JPG files) out of ./ and to serve dynamic
content by running CGI programs out of ./cgi-bin. The default
page is home.html (rather than index.html) so that we can view
the contents of the directory from a browser.

Tiny is neither secure nor complete, but it gives students an
idea of how a real Web server works. Use for instructional purposes only.

The code compiles and runs cleanly using gcc 2.95.3
on a Linux 2.2.20 kernel.

To install Tiny:
Type "tar xvf tiny.tar" in a clean directory.

To run Tiny:
Run "tiny " on the server machine,
e.g., "tiny 8000".
Point your browser at Tiny:
static content: http://:8000
dynamic content: http://:8000/cgi-bin/adder?1&2
