OS2WWW Version History
Known Bugs
- Server side includes do not work correctly. This will only affect
those few servers which elect to make use of double-parsing when
serving documents.
Version 1.4
- OS2WWW now runs at server priority level. To reduce its multitasking
priority to a "regular" setting, use the "-p" command line switch.
- Some users had problems running the new "imagemap.exe". This has
now been corrected.
- The keystrokes used to obtain automatic server statistics and traces
are now documented when OS2WWW starts up.
- The "Alias" command in the "srm.cnf" configuration file now correctly
handles aliases to other drives, including network drives.
Version 1.2
- An enhanced "imagemap.exe" is now shipped with OS2WWW. If you have
an existing "imagemap.exe" from OS2HTTPD, please replace it.
- The install program now allows re-installation, while keeping a
multi-level backup of previous configurations.
- Performance is slightly improved over the 1.1 release.
- Documentation is now contained in a "OS2WWW" directory off of the
main "DOCS" directory.
Version 1.1
- Command line options -d and -f now work.
- New command line option -m for specifying document root directory,
without having to modify a configuration file.
- CGI support now included for batch and REXX files, not just EXE.
- The URL need no longer specify a document directly. OS2WWW loads
"index.html" if present, else uses the "DirectoryIndex" spec in the
"srm.cnf" file. The "Welcome" spec is also allowed.
- The "Redirect" spec in the "srm.cnf" file is now properly supported,
as is "Alias".
- Directories and URL's can now end with a trailing '/'.
- Both UNIX '/' and OS/2 '\' characters are allowed for directories
and URL's, but UNIX-style '/' is preferred for cross-platform
compatibility.
- Dynamic directory listings are now served by OS2WWW if no document
is specified.
- URLs may now be specified using more than 8 character file names and
3 character extensions, even if a FAT partition is being used. OS2WWW
will automatically map names like "LongFileName.html" to
"LongFile.htm".
- OS2WWW now includes an easy PM installation program.
