Serving Items to HTTP Clients
There are several ways to serve items to HTTP clients. The various
methods are appropriate for different circumstances. In all cases,
however, the selections will _not_ be shown to Gopher clients, and
will be made available only to HTTP clients.
Perhaps the simplest and most natural is to use the httpText= and
endText= keywords. These provide arbitrary HTML, including hypertext
links, to the HTTP client.
When the object is a local file, an "Attribute=httponly" line may be
used. This was discussed in the previous section.
Another method is to use a menu entry such as:
URLlink=A file for HTTP clients only on a remote server
Url=http://host.name.edu/0/dir/file
This provides arbitrary objects, including items from remote servers,
to HTTP clients. The title for the item can use HTML by saying,
instead:
URLHlink=File for HTTP clients only (on remote server
)
Url=http://host.name.edu/0/dir/file
Note that when "URLHlink=" is used, you must furnish the hyperlink
terminator, similar to "HName=" lines.
