$Id: server.changes,v 1.1.1.1 2000/08/19 00:28:56 jgoerzen Exp $ Gopher 2.2 patchlevel 0 ----------------------- * Entire source tree modified to use GNU autoconf Gopher 2.2 patchlevel 0 ----------------------- * It's now possible to authenticate based on groups. * Added the ability to specify alternate password files for unix file authentication mechanism * Authentication based on groups is now possible. * It's now possible to not compile in any authentication for a leaner server. * HTML version supports headers and footers for each directory, plus a globalheader and globalfooter. Create the following files to try it out: /lib/globalfooter.html /lib/globalheader.html /.header.html /.footer.html Note that the .about.html file still works.. * Totally rewrote the Exit/Die routines. * Server can now accept HTTP posts. Most CGI scripts will work.. The server also now can accept HTTP 1.0 requests. * The ftp gateway now supports username/password links (by using ftp URLs for the gopher path..) * The server automatically sets the title for HTML documents from the tag, if it appears in the first 512 bytes of the document. * Gopher style authentication works with HTTP/HTML. * Little icons support ALT= for text based browsers. * Server automatically changes a gopher info item with a row of dashes into a HTML <HR> tag. * Gopher support for virtual worlds (the 'v' type.) Gopher 2.1 Server patchlevel 3 ------------------------------ * Added a 3 minute timeout writing data in some operations * Fix for WAIS searches that return the whole document * New .names file for integrated gateways. * New g2netfind, g2areacode scripts. * Fixed calling parameters for searching, could cause a core dump. Gopher 2.1 Server patchlevel 2 ------------------------------ * The server now keeps track of the number of connections it's gotten. There's a new STATISTICS block on the top level meta-information. * The server can now efficiently limit the number of Maximum connections. The server now uses signal handling routines to keep track of the number of running child processes. * Fixed bugs in Mailfile, multifile processing. * More efficient, more understandable, less buggy directory parser.. * Shell scripts are line buffered, in case the script is really slow.. * Lots of little performance improvements. * The gopherd.conf file has been reworked. The .gd extension denotes a Gopher0 directory, a .gpd extension denotes a Gopher+ directory. * All the functionality of go4gw is now included as scripts that run on your gopher server * The server comes ready to use Freewais-0.4 or Freewais-sf. Added field searching support for FreeWAIS-sf * The server now can automatically add Icons for the automatic HTML menus that it generates. Just create /lib/htmlicon.X, where X is the Gopher0 type. * Automatic HTML pages include the abstract if present. * Fix problem with compilation on AIX 3.2.5 * Allocate proper amount of space for des routines, fix potential bug. * Added a method to automatically generate Abstracts and other Gopher+ meta-information via the BlockScript: line in gopherd.conf. * Allow multi-line abstracts in link files, Fix for ftp URL generation * Fix for systems without waitpid and wait3 * Add ultrix to machines that don't have fgetpwent Gopher 2.1 Server patchlevel 1 ------------------------------ * New authentication method 'unixfile' This method uses passwords and usernames from {gopher-data}/etc/passwd instead of the unix /etc/passwd file. A new scripts directory holds an add-account script for sites who want to ask people to register a username and password before using restricted parts of a server. This will only work on systems that support the fgetpwent() call though. * Start towards CGI compliance for script execution. * Allow script paths with spaces, better error messages * Fix for multi-line bummer messages * Fix wording problem in integrity check * Fix for command routines with authentication * Allow username to be passed to the environment when using password authentication * Fix prespecified searches Gopher 2.1 Server patchlevel 0 ------------------------------ * Add URL for gophfilt * Add logging, add period output to wais-gopher gateway * Make Grep Index queries work * Mindex timeouts, mindex gindexd support from Steve Hsieh * Added a NO_INDEXING server option to slim down executable size. * Auxconf: lines in gopherd.conf can now use regular expressions. * You can now set a top-level Abstract for your server. Many items in the gopherd.conf file can now be multi-lined by using backslashes at the end of lines. * Eliminate extra hostname lookups in the FTP gateway. * Removed lots of static allocation, executable size is now smaller. * Bug-fix: Close file descriptors when searching .cap files during WAIS searches (symptom was a limit of 60 files returned...) * Modifications to use FreeWAIS-sf package available from ftp://ls6-www.informatik.uni-dortmund.de/pub/wais/freeWAIS-sf-1.0.tgz * Added support for Adobe Portable Document Format, PDF. * Add new method of username/password authentication documented in the gopherd.conf. This authentication works with any client that supports ask forms. * New Gopher+ FTP routines from Brian Coen. Also support for OS/2 ftp servers and more. * NO_AUTHENTICATION can be defined in Makefile.config, to make a smaller executable * LOG_IP_ONLY option for heavily used sites that don't want to hit the DNS for every connection. * Added many environment variables for shell script writers. * Search strings can be pre-specified, ala URLs. Make a link as follows: Path=7/foo/bar/index?words Type=1 ... * Gopherd.conf now has an optional 'include' directive to include the contents of another file inside the gopherd.conf file. * Documents can now be split on arbitrary regular expressions. See the gopherd.conf manual page for examples. * Fix bug in HP-UX load avg. calculations * Use strcoll to sort directories if present. * A first (non-working) crack at POSIX regular expression code.

Gopher+2.0 patchlevel 13 ------------------------ * A new experimental method of access control is now implemented. Instead of limiting based on load average it limits based on the number of simultaneous concurrent connections. Docs are scant and there are bound to be some bugs in it. * Code should now link with freeWAIS 0.3 and 0.202 * Fix for maximum hits from Don Gilbert. * Binary ASK implementation from Don Gilbert. * Fixes for the SCO compiler. * Fix for weird bug links processing bug in STRstring.c * Recognize more Unix ftp sites as Unix * Other FTP gateway fixes for skipping permissions bits with large file sizes, Prettier continuation lines. * Generate gopher0 error messages for gopher0 clients. * Fix for date and time for multiple view items. * Another fix for Type 1 ask forms. * Massive reworking of access limits, much, much cleaner code. * Allow whitespace in gopherd.conf file before tokens (Don Gilbert) * Various mindex bug fixes. * Fix for files with single quotes in them.. Gopher+2.0 patchlevel 12 ------------------------ * An improved implementation of the dedot routines for people who use the -c option. * When trying to match an extension to a file type, the server prefers exact matches of type & language, but will now fall back to matching the type in any language (acf). * Add capability to compile out ftp routines, making a smaller executable. * Skip . and .. files in ftp lisitngs. * Fix for unset variable i in main() Causes crash on NextStep486 * Add support for timezone variables in gopherd.conf * recursive directories should now work. * Various fixes for HP-UX 8.0 systems. * Slightly faster isadir() routine * Add support for flock(), fix LOGGopher() function declaration Gopher+2.0 patchlevel 11 ------------------------ * FTP gateway now understands Plan 9 ftp servers * FTP gateway now understands most VM ftp servers * More robust FTP Implementation * Fix for vms version numbers, don't strip any numbers.. * removed extra fclose in Side_File, fixes certain Linux distributions * Since a gopher server is supposed to have a Fully Qualified Domain name, append a period to the end of the hostname to speed up DNS lookups. * kernutils.c doesn't barf on HP-UX 8.0 anymore.. * Allow Type=1? in .links file for ask blocks.. * Fix bug where no defined language in gopherd.conf would crash the server. * translate telnet URL correctly. Gopher+2.0 patchlevel 10 ------------------------ * Speedup gopher0 requests for WAIS searches. * Added HTML alternate views for gopher+ directories. * Plug many, many memory leaks. * Test shell scripts for exec bit, i.e. you can now have shell scripts on your server and not have them executed. * Allow Type=1? etc.. in .link files to make a link to an ASK item. * Added Domain_pat= line to check for a regexp domains * Allow multiple Domain= and Domain_pat= lines in .link files to be boolean or'ed Gopher+2.0 patchlevel 9 ----------------------- * Fix for Signal handling on RS/6000s * server can now log to syslog daemon.info facility by specifying 'syslog' as the logfile name * Fixed erratic problems with extension adding. Note that the problems with directories not working with Gopher0 clients is due to a missing parameter in a strncasecmp() call.. Makes one wish ANSI C was more widespread... * Additions to allow ignoring files by a regular expression in gopherd.conf (ignore_patt:) * Better error messages in places. * Eliminate bad forward prototyping * Allow specification of auxilliary configuration files. * Fix for mindex being stashed in the actual search terms. * Hack out SETPROCTITLE on systems that can't hack it Gopher+2.0 patchlevel 8 ----------------------- * Fix for WAIS indexes that are marked as gopher+ search items (7+) * FTP gateway now works for Unix sites correctly.. * gopherd.conf file now works for sending HTML files. * Removed unnecessary logging of bummer error messages. Gopher+2.0 patchlevel 7 ----------------------- * Some documentation fixes.. * Moved GLOBALRC definition to conf.h for VMS * Add option to conf.h for Max WAIS documents * Mindex searches can now use "localhost" as the hostname. Searching doesn't fork off then.. See gopherd(8) * Fix for wait() probs on NeXT * Fix for sgi SIGCHLD code. * Server now adds extensions in a case insensitive manner (foo.gif == foo.GIF == foo.GiF, etc. * Totally rewritten ftp gateway.. Much more robust, no temp files! Added support for MACOS, WinNT ftp servers. * Speedups for gopher0 and big directories. * Fix for sites that don't do _POSIX_SAVED_IDS (AIX, others...) * Mod for ignoring files, and more efficient binary transfers * Move cache settings into gopherd.conf (Cachetime can be controlled in gopherd.conf) * Fixes so that load ave works on command line * Load ave code for hp-ux and apollo domain * Updates for multibyte wais docids from ses * Fix problem with g0 client for wais gateway searches * Make sun shared libraries optional * Better VMS tempnam() implementation * Fixes for NETLIB Gopher+2.0 patchlevel 6 ----------------------- * Fix botched protocol in top-level item info. * Mindexd should be really fixed now :-) * Optional date and time on items. * Shell indexes should work again. * Crude top-level veronica block. * Many ftp fixes from Matti Aarnio * Fix off by one error in dedot2() * Patch that allows you to set the number of arguments returned for a WAIS search. * Fix for the error 'wait error (No children)' known to strike Ultrix and AIX systems.. * Mods to allow gopherd.conf files control ftp gateway access. p * Fixes for Sequent Dynix Gopher+2.0 patchlevel 5 ----------------------- * Added fi for gopherindex install * Fix for error logging and uninitialized gs in ftp.c * Fix for hanging ftp gateway connections, die instead of spinning * Get rid of errant message when using inetd (-u warning) * Fix for text/plain files for gopher0 clients. * Remove extensions from titles for files with multiple views. * Move CMDfromNet() to *after* the chroot() and setuid() * Fix for send_binary bug (not enough params in specialfile() * Fix for wais gateway and Unix client * Fixed bogus reading of .cache+ files * return true for non-existant cache file in Cachetimedout(), not -1 * Don't let the security stuff trap ask blocks Gopher+2.0 patchlevel 4 ----------------------- * Enhanced Security logging from Wolfgang Ley * Fix for mindexd for Gopher+ clients. * dedot2 now skips over single quotes. Gopher 2.0 patchlevel 3 ----------------------- * Only install gopherindex if built * Added fix for dedot to remove quotes for when using system or popen * Log execution of programs * Add one more call to Gpopen for shellindexquery Gopher 2.0 patchlevel 2 ----------------------- * Rebuild server if patchlevel.h changes * Mods to use secure popen Gopher 2.0 patchlevel 1 ----------------------- * Fix for VMS unresolved variables * Fix for core dumps on HPUX 8.0 * Ignored files are now ignored again * Fix for sites that have @ -> for symbolic links * Fix for extra slashes in FTP gateway * Fix for Debug syntax error when using DL * Compatibility fix for hpux and seteguid Changes from 1.2b4 to 2.0 ------------------------- * Debugging can be compiled out, resulting in a smaller executable. (Mitra) * Fixed dissapearing directories related to 0 length .cache files. (Guyton) * .cache files are sent at a much faster rate, with less translation. * The WAIS gateway doesn't put in spurious periods anymore (Trier). * .names files can contain Abstract and Admin information. (Cody) * You can now define a "decoder" for a certain file extension in the gopherd.conf file. Typical decoders include compress and gzip. Weirder decoders might be stuff like adpcm (for those pesky ITR files!) Lines in gopherd.conf look like this: decoder: .gz /usr/gnu/bin/zcat Note that there is currently a limit of one decoder per file. * Zombies should no longer hang around... Fixed signal handling quite a bit. Zombie Killer Qu'est Que C'est fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better * Server can be built using Sun shared libraries. * Server modifies its argv string so that informative messages appear when you us the "ps" command on systems that support this. * The multiple indexes feature now definitely works! (I promise!) * The FTP gateway now works with machines that don't know about PASV. Also it understands the directory listings that VMS and Novell FTP servers generate. (Bob Alberti) * Changed mail-file processing so that: removes whitespace from the beginning of Subject: lines adds <no subject> for articles that don't have a subject line or have a blank subject line. (John Martin) * Numb= entries can now have negative numbers. Files that are numbered negative will appear at the *end* of the gopher directory listing. * Compiles using freeWAIS without dumping core.. * Fixed WAIS indexer to correctly interpret Gopher+ requests. * Added VMS load restriction code. (The server doesn't compile on VMS yet though..) * More efficent logging, server does less ip-->hostname lookups * Fixed the CAPFILES code. (It's now the default when compiling too..) Changes from 1.2b3 to 1.2b4 ---------------------------- * .cap files are back if you want them... Look in Makefile.config * Fixed problems with Data directories with a space in them in gopherindex * Fixed problems with seteuid() on hpux * Fixed link processing, code is much easier to read and less buggy. * Added DEBUG mods from Mitra (you really get a lot of debug stuff now!) * Fixes for ask shell scripts, ensure that they're run in the current directory of the script. * Better error checking on getpeername() calls. * Fixed dreaded .mindex things on certain searches, including super bogus code in AddExtension() * Fixed bug where links might not be sent out. * First public Admit1 server, supports partitioning the server into public/private areas. Funky..... Minimal docs on this so far. * Group id gets set in addition to the UID of the given username. Changes from 1.2b2 to 1.2b3 --------------------------- * Fixed wais->gopher gateway. * Minimal gopher+ support for Index queries, supports '$' command. * Support for recursive directory listings from the top-level. Should be much better for fetching veronica data. * More fixes for behavior that depends on the order of files inside of a directory. (Shows up most often as a path with a space in it) * Socket REUSE and LINGER ought to work much better now. (Pekka Kyt|laakso) * ftp gateway works again, it now also gets filetypes from gopherd.conf * Cleaned up parsing of client commands, much easier to read. * Added an simple shell script "gopherindex" that automagically makes full text indexes. * Filtering as per gopher+ spec now implemented partially. * Gopherd now deals with compressed files more effectively. (Mitra) * Better replacement for tempnam(), no more crashes on NeXTs with "bad zone". (John Ladwig) * FTP gateway now uses the filename extensions defined in gopherd.conf to do translation of ftp listings. Changes from 1.2b1 to 1.2b2 -------------------------- * Fixed some signal problems with Crays (Hal Peterson) * Changed the -I behavior to use stdout. * Fixed error in gethostbyaddr() call (Hal Peterson) * Fixed inconsistent behavior that caused GDfromUFS to be dependent on the order of the files on the disk. * Fixed problems with compilation of HP-UX and others that died on the use of signal() is gopherd.h * Fixed problems with not using -c and the infamous '//' directory. * Server now deals with compressed files much more effectively (Mitra) Changes from 1.12 to 1.2b1 --------------------------- * Added support for gopher+ to the server. It's not everywhere... yet. * Changed the format of the gopherd.conf file. Changes from 1.11 to 1.12 ------------------------- * No changes. Changes from 1.1 to 1.11 ------------------------ * FTP gateway transactions are now logged. Also, the password sent by the gateway to the remote ftp site now contains the hostname of the remote gopher client. * Fixed problem with files that contain a period on a line all by itself. * Using the -u flag and not using -c actually works now. * mindexd is gone, long live gopherd :-) Place your mindexd configuration files inside your gopher-data directory with the extension ".mindex". * Moved all kernel specific code into kernutils.c * .cap files are ignored by the WAIS searching engine. * Fixed endless loop bug with shell-script index queries. Added more special character filtering to GrepIndexQuery() Changes from 1.03 to 1.1 ------------------------ * Fixed error processing results when using ANSI varargs. <asc@uci.edu> * WAIS search results will now get the name from a "Sidefile" (i.e. .cap entry) if it exists. Note that the indexes and the files must reside on the same host if this is to work. <Mike_Macgirvin@MED.Stanford.EDU> * The security file has been replaced with a gopherd.conf file. For info on configuration see the example gopherd.conf file, or the soon to be written gopherd.conf man page. Use the -o option to gopherd to specify an option file * Object type mapping from filename extensions is now implemented in the gopherd.conf file as well. * exec:args:/scriptname may now contain an empty argument list, so this is now valid: Path=exec::finger @moocow * Changed the way the WAIS code is linked in. You'll have to make a symbolic link for the WAIS bin directory now. (Read the updated INSTALL documentation. * Fixed problem with mail spool files with addresses longer than 64 characters. (Greg Smith smith@bucknell.edu) * WSRC objects found through the WAIS gateway are interpreted as gopher search items instead of text files. * Logging when using chroot() will no longer give GMT times. It will give the local time instead. (Rob.Montjoy@uc.edu) * Reverted to old cache method that doesn't fail when you change the name of a parent directory. * Turned off linger option on sockets. The server shouldn't leave sockets in the CLOSING state anymore (well we can hope :-) (edmoy@violet.berkeley.edu) Also added SOREUSEADDR option on the socket. * Logfile now gets created with mode 644 permissions. (mark@sarek.plk.af.mil) * Fixed core dump problems with core dumps inside of waisgopher.c. The problem was with an incorrect AbortOutput() call that had the wrong parameters [buchali@sun8.ruf.uni-freiburg.de (Christine Buchali)] * Fixed all known problems with numbering. Numbering directories is different now. Instead of putting an item in the nth place, it sorts the directory as follows: - All numbered entries are first, sorted by number. If two items have the smme number, then sorting is done alphabetically - All remaining entries are then added at the end, sorted in alphabetical order. * Fixed problem with Wais gateway and munged characters. The wais gateway now obeys the protocol and transmits CR-LF pairs at the end of lines like it's supposed to. * Fixed problem with tmp files from ftp gateway.. Also, rewrote the ftp-gateway to talk ftp-protocol directly instead of relying on the ftp executable. * Directory listings are now generated with NLST -LF instead of -F, this should fix some problems with symbolicly linked directories. (valke@cca.vu.nl (Peter Valkenburg)) * Audio files should transer across the ftp gateway properly now. (valke@cca.vu.nl (Peter Valkenburg)) Changes from v1.02 to v1.03 --------------------------- Added lost+found and lib to the list of directories mapped out. Eventually this will be replaced by a gopherd.conf file. gopherls will now list out the correct host, instead of NULL. Binary files now work for the ftp-gateway in the server. (mahilata@vogon.mathi.uni-heidelberg.de) Added Image and sound support to the gateway as well. You no longer have to play with the Path= portion in a .cap entry if you want something to be treated as a binary (9) or Search (7). The server does it right. Server recognizes gifs as Type I irregardless of extension. WAIS searches can now return binary type data. For now it's just returned as Type 9. However Type I and s can be hacked in pretty easily. Changes from v1.01 to v1.02 --------------------------- Tweaked error.c so that it will work with ANSI varargs. (Pekka Kyt|laakso) Fixed problem with gopherls. Output was being sent to stdin, ugh! Fixed problem in server when returning error messages. Should get rid of a few more core files :-) (Doug Shales) Fixed problem with the Path=exec server type. Added a missing break.. (Doug Schales) Fixed compilation problems of waisgopher.c underneath Ultrix. Changed Waisindex.c so that long pathnames of the type: ACT III /home/mudhoney/gopher-data/Gutenberg/shake/Henry III are emitted as: ACT III /Gutenberg/shake/Henry III Removed statements that could never be reached. special.c doesn't recognize compressed files correctly. This fix should work on all machines regardless of their bit size. (David Datta) datta@cs.uwp.edu Fixed problem with extra output from stdout/stderr. This is most frequently seen as server messages appearing on NeXT clients. (Steven Jones) noyd@cac.washington.edu Fixed problem with client truncating directories with types it doesn't understand. (Dennis Boone) Removed extra period at the end of http transactions. Fixed bug in parsing WWW ids. Fixed bug in sending cached html pages. Changes from v1.0 to v1.01 -------------------------- Fixed problem with load limiting code. It didn't work as advertised. <mtm> Added test to filter out unreadable directories. <mtm> The exec: type path now can have arguments with a colon in them. <mtm> Allow whitespace in command names in ShellIndexQuery. Also fixed error in calling GDfromNet() and added a missing pclose() <mtm> Fixed Makefile so that installation works correctly. Fixed ftp.c so that it now puts out the proper paths. <gilbertd>,<Lange> Changes from v0.9 to v1.0 ------------------------- Gopherd now moonlights as gindexd as well. Usage is slightly different though. Instead of a -d flag, just add the database name to the index_directory. .cache files are ignored by the search engine routines. Added utility "gopherls". It's really just a link to gopherd. But it easily allows you to see what all the .Links, .caps, etc. will look like, without constantly running a client. Added the wais gateway functionality directly into the server. To add a wais database put a link like this: Name=Whatever Path=waissrc:/the/path/here Type=7 Host=+ Port=+ The server will automagically turn files ending in .src into wais databases... Mondo cool. Made the server more agressive wrt caching. It will check the modification times on the files in the directory and the .cap directory before remaking the .cache file. Mods from Earl Fogel. Now linking in the swanky gopher library. Now we can really have shared code! Added HTML support. A gopher server can be now queried with a WWW (World wide Web) client. The server also understands html files and can serve them up to WWW clients. Note that this is different from the built in support that WWW has for gopher servers, in that you can add descriptive text to a directory listing by putting a .about.html file in the directory. Added an ftp gateway to the server. Make a link with a path like ftp:hostname@pathname. This may not work on all systems... When retrieving ranges of files the server outputs from which file it's getting the data from.. Fixed bug with the variable inline in index.c Changed behavior of logfiling... When running non-inetd, the server would hold the logfile open. Deleting the logfile wouldn't free the space. The server now reopens the logfile for every request.. Added better hostdata support. The server will now look for <dbname>.hostdata before just the plain vanilla "hostdata". Thus it is now possible to have multiple indices in the same directory. (mic) Changes from v0.8 to v0.9 ------------------------- Added code from Mike MacGavrin that restricts access based on load average. Right now it works on SunOS 4.1.1. It may work on others too. To use this option look in the conf.h file and define LOADRESTRICT. Added server directory caching!! I took the digest idea of John Sellens and incorporated it into the server. When a directory is transmitted a .cache file is created. This file contains the raw gopher directory information. You can set the cache timeout value in conf.h (Currently it's set to three minutes) Added dynamic data structure allocation. No more limits to the size of directories or lengths of strings! Bolstered the builtin mailfile processing with code taken from nn. Mail articles are now strictly sorted by legal from lines instead of just checking the first five characters. Changed index searches so that they use the built in headlines that the indexes provide. Much prettier looking and less code grokking for me :-) Changed the getcommand readline() error call to not dump core. This happens fairly regularly with the 0.7 client. (0.8 doesn't cause this problem) Changed Makefile so that install depends on $(TARGET), not all. (Pointed out by Edward Symanzik) Changed daemon.c so that HPs use setsid() to disassociate from the controlling tty. (fix from Jim Garlick) Added -lm to the LIBS in the Makefile. Some systems don't have ceil() and floor() in libc. Pointed out by Jim McCoy Updated conf.h with instructions on defining NOSTRSTR for machines that don't have strstr(). Suggested by Benjamin Littman. Removed duplicate period that was being transmitted at the end of each directory... Added patch from Edward Symanzik that fixes GDaddGS for once and all. Some strange sorting behavior was still being seen. Fixed problems with subject lines in mailfiles being set incorrectly. (Fix from Mike Macgirvin) Fixed problems logging Ranges. Filename wasn't being appended correctly. Fixed problem with munged logfiles with many simultaneous gopher connections. The server uses fcntl to do its locking. Patch submitted by Edward Symanzik. The Waterloo'isms for setting the UID to a "safe" person are only in place for the spawned server. The code to setuid comes after the inet server runs, and in fact, a "-u" or "-U" option is ignored for inet operation. Sure it's an inet config option, but the man page says that "-u" sets it, and it doesn't in this case. This might lead people to a false sense of security... (Fix from Mike Macgirvin) Fixed problems with compressed files under the -c option. Now works correct. Fix from Billy Barron. Fixed logging of built in search requests. The query wasn't logged before. Added small feature from John Sellens that allows you to use a plus (+) in the Host= and Port= lines of a link file. When the server comes across these it substitutes the current hostname and port of the current server. Changes from v0.7 to v0.8 ------------------------- Added patches from John Sellens to make it possible to run gopherd in a non-chroot() fashion. Look in the modified gopherd man page for more information. Fixed problems with -I option and improper port numbers. Fix from many people. Fixed problems with Titles and sidefiles. Should work properly now. Fixed problems with domain names not being properly appended when DNS routines don't seem to return the proper hostname. (Fix from John Ladwig). Fixed small problem with mailfile processing from Mike Macgirvin <mtm@SUMEX-AIM.Stanford.EDU> Fixed another problem with mailfile processing, the last letter had the same startbyte and endbyte. Fix from Ed Symanzik. <zik@convex.cl.msu.edu> Added new protocol change/extension for multiple indexes on a single daemon. Gopherd can now serve up full text indexes! The Makefile is quite a bit different now. Look in the man page for info on setting up indexes. Added support for type 9 binary files. Added support for type 4 macintosh hqx files. Everything is now logged, previously ranges and mailfiles weren't logged. Changes from v0.6 to v0.7 ------------------------- Fixed bug that causes server to core dump when reading in directories with more than 256 entries. Fixed bug which caused core dumps on non-sparc machines. (Man are those Sparcs forgiving!) Added fixes from Craig Rice <cdr@stolaf.edu> Shell scripts with spaces in them would not work. Fixed strange problem with user defined numbering appearing in the wrong place. Added fixes from John Sellens <jmsellen@watmath.waterloo.edu> Fixed problem with error handling, and improper argument passing in Getfiletypes(); Fixed problem with error handling when dealing with older paths. The server now handles abnormal conditions better. Added fix from Mic It's no longer necessary to specify the port number when running from inetd. The server will figure it out automatically. Also, when running from inetd the message "Starting Gopher Daemon" is no longer logged Changes from v0.5 to v0.6 ------------------------- There's now a man page! Yeah! The server can now be started from inetd. Use the -I switch. Alphabetizing/Ordering of items within a directory now works. I took the ideas of Craig Rice and modified the heck out of them. Added enhancements from Craig Rice to allow shell scripts to be placed inside of a gopher-data directory. The server now recognizes mail spool files. It makes them into directories that the user can browse. Added code cleanups from William Roberts <liam@dcs.qmw.ac.uk>. Eliminated multiple gethostbyname() calls. Item Names can be put in the .cap/ files. Added changes from Mic Kaczmarczik <mic@emx.utexas.edu> Allow the Data Directory and Domain Name to be changed in the Makefile. Automagically define __STRICT_BSD__ on NeXTs Automagically define BROKENDIRS on the Next and Umax Include <ctype.h> for systems that need it. Changes from v0.4 to v0.5 ------------------------- The server can automatically determine the types of certain files. It now recognizes sounds and uuencoded files. (It actually looks at the file, not the extension.) Improved logging. All transactions are now logged with the name of the file/directory that was retrieved. Logging now gets done *after* the transaction takes place. This will speed things up a little bit. Portability fixes. Now compiles cleanly on HPUX 7.0 (and others too perhaps...) Added directory mask for /etc. (Forgot about that one!) Gopherd can now serve ranges of files. This is especially useful if you have big mail spools and are using the wais indexer. The format for a range in the selector string is "R<startbyte>-<endbyte>-<Filename>". Look in the shell-scripts directory for utilities to make link trees out of these big files. Made sure that the server always returns a line with a dot. (to successfully terminate the connection). Added change from Craig Rice (cdr@stolaf.edu) that fixes the problem with compressed files. (The zcat was opened for writing... oops!) Gopherd now checks to see if it's being run by root before it starts (suggested by Russell Fulton <russell@ccu1.ak.nz>) Fixed type problem with getopt(). (c should have been an int not a char) Thanks go to BugStomper Russell Fulton <rj_fulton@aukuni.ac.nz>. Changes from v0.32 to v0.4 -------------------------- Changed argument processing over to getopt() Phew, what a relief. Of course this means that arguments must have single letters now, so -sec becomes -s, -log becomes -l and -DEBUG becomes -D. Changes from v0.31 to v0.32 --------------------------- Added a chdir("/") so that relative paths (i.e. paths that don't have a "/" in front of them) work. Changes from v0.3 to v0.31 -------------------------- Fixed bug where -sec was always required. Changes from v0.2 to v0.3 ------------------------- Added logging for the server along with a new command line switch -l <logfile>. Added option to filter connections based on hostname/internet addresses. The new command line switch is -sec <secfile>. Changes from v0.1 (The original unversioned release) to v0.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Added support for sound types. Changed the types of paths generated so we can save a directory lookup in a couple of places Added the .cap/ method of changing object types and making links. Changed Makefile around a bit
