3 * Finished the overhaul. Now to tune...
5 Revision 1.111 1999/12/03 17:59:53 ajc
6 * BROKEN BUILD. Wrote most of the session removal code, but some of it is
7 pseudocode so the build is currently broken.
9 Revision 1.110 1999/12/03 16:37:46 ajc
10 * Repaired HTTP output for image transfers and static content
12 Revision 1.109 1999/12/03 05:09:54 ajc
13 * Rewrote the HTTP engine and application coupling to run in a worker thread
14 model and to run as a single multithreaded program (eliminated helper
15 processes and pipes). It currently runs but has many large bugs.
17 Revision 1.108 1999/12/03 00:18:20 ajc
18 * Added ".c.o" rule to Makefile
20 Revision 1.107 1999/11/26 03:32:59 ajc

37 * Minor bug fix in registration screen
39 Revision 1.101 1999/10/06 02:44:02 ajc
40 * Per Nick's request, removed the key bindings stuff. He knows how to fit
41 it back in when it's fixed. Also added more attempts at cache disabling,
42 but it still doesn't work in the StarOffice browser. I don't know why.
44 Revision 1.100 1999/10/02 03:26:14 ajc
45 * Merged in Nick's bit of JavaScript to handle key commands.
46 BROKEN BUILD ALERT!! This runs all the time, even when the cursor is
47 in a text field. Right now you can't even log in.
49 Revision 1.99 1999/09/01 01:06:11 ajc
50 * Added "max message length" field in global config screen
52 Revision 1.98 1999/08/14 18:16:10 ajc

59 Mon Jul 12 23:30:24 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
60 * webcit.c: exit Webcit sessions semi-gracefully when the connection
61 to a Citadel server fails.
62 * messages.c: don't auto-link URL's in messages if it would cause
65 Sat Jul 10 17:51:39 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
66 * Recompiled the Java chat applet using a genuine JDK 1.0.2
67 compiler. This should make more browsers happy.
69 Wed Jun 30 19:19:59 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
70 * Added support for "robots.txt" telling spiders to go away.

75 server command" to avoid nested server operations
77 Wed Jun 23 21:43:30 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
78 * webcit.c: added "back, top, next" buttons to bottom of each page

101 Wed Jun 2 23:47:58 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
102 * Ditched the frames mode completely. It wasn't working properly in,
103 among other places, IE 5. Die, Bill, Die.
105 Sat May 29 00:25:47 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
106 * Fixed the behavior of the "forget room" routine, to properly handle
107 the transition back to the Lobby after it's all done.
108 * Added ExpressMessageCat() to allow code to send the user messages
109 along with incoming express messages
110 * WebCit now sends the name of the end user's browser as the client
111 name in a Citadel IDEN command rather than its own name.
113 Fri May 21 23:35:17 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
114 * Minor code cleanups

120 Fri May 14 23:37:02 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
121 * Initial entry to _BASEROOM_ at login now done as a Skip instead
122 of a Goto, in order to prevent it from first marking all msgs old.
124 Mon May 10 23:09:34 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
125 * Replaced _most_ gotoroom() calls with smart_goto(), a version
126 which can differentiate the needs of frames and noframes modes
128 Sat May 8 01:07:06 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
129 * webserver.c: added "-t" option to send traces somewhere else
131 Tue Apr 27 23:36:35 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
132 * context_loop.c: display an error page if the client browser
133 requests a non-root page and there is no cookie set
134 * webserver.c: took my name off the copyright notice (it's a group
137 Sun Apr 18 23:42:54 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
138 * Reworked a lot of the structure, made more HTML "embeddable"

141 Thu Apr 16 12:00:00 EDT 1999 Nick Grossman <nicl@ulster.net>
142 Changed some output formatting (mainly <FONT> tags).
143 Changed who.c to use urlescputs() rather than escputs()
144 in urls so GOTOs and User Profiles work when the string has a
147 Wed Apr 14 17:56:18 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
148 http://www.webreference.com/dhtml/column18/menuFrLoad.html
149 How to cause "onLoad=" to cause a sibling frame to refresh without
150 having to use the nonportable HTTP "Window-Target:" directive. Began
151 implementation of this; it should allow portable NS/IE compatibility.
153 Wed Apr 7 21:51:33 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
154 * Implemented "access level required to create rooms"
156 Thu Mar 18 00:23:05 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
157 * webcit.c: modified getz() to *exit* the program when fgets()
158 returns an error. This is actually the desired behavior; it would
159 otherwise busy-loop forever on a broken pipe.
161 Sat Mar 6 19:56:07 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
162 * webcit.c: added to getz() the ability to return an error code;
163 implemented this in the main loop, hopefully fixing problems
164 * Added "braindamage" file (frames/JS browser compatibility list)
165 * Added HTTP "User-agent:" detection
166 * wildmat.c, braindamage.c: added
167 * Initial value of 'noframes' is now set by the braindamage check
168 * Ran everything through "indent -kr -i8"
169 * roomops.c: in room list, print a in otherwise empty cells
171 1999-02-24 Nathan Bryant <bryant@cs.usm.maine.edu>
172 * context_loop.c: warning fix
173 * webcit.c: off_t is a 64-bit `long long' on BSDI (eek!)
175 Sat Jan 30 19:00:58 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
176 * Resolve the name of the connecting host and pass it on to Citadel
178 Fri Jan 29 14:49:49 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
179 * wDumpContent() is now responsible for </BODY></HTML> most of the
180 time (parameter settable) so that the main menu can easily be
181 embedded in every page when running in noframes mode
182 * noframes mode selection is now carried in the cookie
184 Thu Jan 28 20:30:08 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
185 * Made the frames stuff less dependent on the HTML TARGET= directive
186 and more dependent on the HTTP Window-target: directive.
187 * Made the system semi-navigable in noframes mode.
189 Sat Jan 23 19:36:10 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
190 * Brought over the new room listing code and <G>oto heuristics
191 from the main Citadel tree, to pay attention to floor/room ordering
193 Thu Jan 14 17:14:11 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
194 * Modified the back end of mime_parser to use callbacks instead of
195 doing something specific. Now we can use it elsewhere.
197 Mon Jan 11 21:53:16 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
198 * Fixed the bugs in "Site-wide configuration"
199 * Added a "generic server commands" screen
201 Fri Jan 8 22:20:54 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
202 * Reduced the multiple cookies down to one cookie combining all data.
204 Mon Jan 4 23:04:36 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
205 * Removed wc_host and wc_port cookies.
206 * Added an "edit your session" screen to change your wholisting.
208 Sun Jan 3 20:05:31 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
209 * Added "enter registration"
210 * Set up automatic trigger of Enter Registration when the server
212 * Established that a one-to-one WebCit/Citadel correspondence will
213 be required. No big deal due to shared code segments.
214 * Added "change password"
215 * Added networking configuration screens. These still need testing.
216 * Added a "kill session" link to each line of the wholist when
217 logged in as an aide, and the screens to perform this operation.
219 Thu Dec 31 21:53:20 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>

228 Wed Dec 30 20:36:13 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
229 * Wrote mime_parser.c for handling of image uploads. This will also
230 be used in future Citadel MIME projects.
232 Tue Dec 29 23:25:50 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
233 * Fixed a bug in the room banner display code

242 * Changed the "auto read new" functionality from a meta refresh tag
243 to an "onload" directive (the former was causing graphics problems)
244 * Added "create room"

259 * Replace "Citadel/UX" in menu bar with the Citadel/UX logo
261 1998-12-14 Nathan Bryant <bryant@cs.usm.maine.edu>
262 * automatically regenerate Makefile when Makefile.in changes
264 Sun Dec 13 13:35:12 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
265 * context_loop.c: Moved "remove session" into its own function.
266 Check for dead webcit child process before each transaction.
267 * Ignore SIGPIPE; this seems to magically make the program bulletproof
268 against broken HTTP connections.
269 * Added a housekeeping thread to periodically remove dead sessions
270 and kill idle sessions.
271 * messages.c: added "delete message" functionality
272 * messages.c: added "move message" functionality

284 * webserver.c: remove commented-out references to SO_LINGER
286 Wed Dec 9 18:50:46 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
287 * context_loop.c: After fork(), child process closes the HTTP socket
288 so when the parent process closes it, it actually _does_ close.
289 Otherwise, aIEeeee and possibly other browsers will hang.
290 * Added support for graphics images retrieved from the Citadel server.
291 * Set up login banner graphic and background image graphic
293 1998-12-09 Nathan Bryant <bryant@cs.usm.maine.edu>
294 * context_loop.c, webserver.c, webserver.h: SO_LINGER and locking fix
296 Wed Dec 9 11:13:48 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
297 * Smoothed out some of the login/logout code. Failed authentication
298 now works the way it should.
299 * Added support for new user login (still need to handle registration).
301 Tue Dec 8 15:45:42 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
302 * Discovered that the HTTP socket problem is related to a socket that
303 isn't properly lingering on close. Temporarily hacked a sleep(10)
304 into context_loop.c until it is figured out.
306 Mon Dec 7 17:03:18 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
307 * Did a little debugging, still trying to figure out why logging in
308 displays "Connection reset by peer" error. It used to work...
310 1998-12-07 Nathan Bryant <bryant@cs.usm.maine.edu>
311 * Makefile.in: updated dependencies
313 Sun Dec 6 19:50:55 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>

332 * context_loop.c: moved the monster 64k buffer array off the stack
333 * tcp_sockets.c: getservbyname() doesn't set errno.
335 1998-12-03 Nathan Bryant <bryant@cs.usm.maine.edu>
336 * webserver.c: warning fix
