34 * Finished the overhaul. Now to tune...
36 Revision 1.111 1999/12/03 17:59:53 ajc
37 * BROKEN BUILD. Wrote most of the session removal code, but some of it is
38 pseudocode so the build is currently broken.

41 * Repaired HTTP output for image transfers and static content
43 Revision 1.109 1999/12/03 05:09:54 ajc
44 * Rewrote the HTTP engine and application coupling to run in a worker thread
45 model and to run as a single multithreaded program (eliminated helper
46 processes and pipes). It currently runs but has many large bugs.
48 Revision 1.108 1999/12/03 00:18:20 ajc

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

92 to a Citadel server fails.
93 * messages.c: don't auto-link URL's in messages if it would cause
96 Sat Jul 10 17:51:39 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
97 * Recompiled the Java chat applet using a genuine JDK 1.0.2

100 Wed Jun 30 19:19:59 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
101 * Added support for "robots.txt" telling spiders to go away.

132 Wed Jun 2 23:47:58 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
133 * Ditched the frames mode completely. It wasn't working properly in,
134 among other places, IE 5. Die, Bill, Die.
136 Sat May 29 00:25:47 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
137 * Fixed the behavior of the "forget room" routine, to properly handle
138 the transition back to the Lobby after it's all done.
139 * Added ExpressMessageCat() to allow code to send the user messages
140 along with incoming express messages
141 * WebCit now sends the name of the end user's browser as the client
142 name in a Citadel IDEN command rather than its own name.
144 Fri May 21 23:35:17 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>

152 * Initial entry to _BASEROOM_ at login now done as a Skip instead
153 of a Goto, in order to prevent it from first marking all msgs old.
155 Mon May 10 23:09:34 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
156 * Replaced _most_ gotoroom() calls with smart_goto(), a version
157 which can differentiate the needs of frames and noframes modes
159 Sat May 8 01:07:06 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
160 * webserver.c: added "-t" option to send traces somewhere else
162 Tue Apr 27 23:36:35 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
163 * context_loop.c: display an error page if the client browser
164 requests a non-root page and there is no cookie set
165 * webserver.c: took my name off the copyright notice (it's a group
168 Sun Apr 18 23:42:54 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>

172 Thu Apr 16 12:00:00 EDT 1999 Nick Grossman <nicl@ulster.net>
173 Changed some output formatting (mainly <FONT> tags).
174 Changed who.c to use urlescputs() rather than escputs()
175 in urls so GOTOs and User Profiles work when the string has a
178 Wed Apr 14 17:56:18 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
179 http://www.webreference.com/dhtml/column18/menuFrLoad.html
180 How to cause "onLoad=" to cause a sibling frame to refresh without
181 having to use the nonportable HTTP "Window-Target:" directive. Began
182 implementation of this; it should allow portable NS/IE compatibility.
184 Wed Apr 7 21:51:33 EDT 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
185 * Implemented "access level required to create rooms"
187 Thu Mar 18 00:23:05 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
188 * webcit.c: modified getz() to *exit* the program when fgets()
189 returns an error. This is actually the desired behavior; it would
190 otherwise busy-loop forever on a broken pipe.
192 Sat Mar 6 19:56:07 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
193 * webcit.c: added to getz() the ability to return an error code;
194 implemented this in the main loop, hopefully fixing problems

196 * Added HTTP "User-agent:" detection
197 * wildmat.c, braindamage.c: added
198 * Initial value of 'noframes' is now set by the braindamage check
199 * Ran everything through "indent -kr -i8"
200 * roomops.c: in room list, print a in otherwise empty cells
202 1999-02-24 Nathan Bryant <bryant@cs.usm.maine.edu>
203 * context_loop.c: warning fix
204 * webcit.c: off_t is a 64-bit `long long' on BSDI (eek!)
206 Sat Jan 30 19:00:58 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
207 * Resolve the name of the connecting host and pass it on to Citadel
209 Fri Jan 29 14:49:49 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
210 * wDumpContent() is now responsible for </BODY></HTML> most of the
211 time (parameter settable) so that the main menu can easily be
212 embedded in every page when running in noframes mode
213 * noframes mode selection is now carried in the cookie
215 Thu Jan 28 20:30:08 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
216 * Made the frames stuff less dependent on the HTML TARGET= directive
217 and more dependent on the HTTP Window-target: directive.
218 * Made the system semi-navigable in noframes mode.
220 Sat Jan 23 19:36:10 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
221 * Brought over the new room listing code and <G>oto heuristics
222 from the main Citadel tree, to pay attention to floor/room ordering
224 Thu Jan 14 17:14:11 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
225 * Modified the back end of mime_parser to use callbacks instead of
226 doing something specific. Now we can use it elsewhere.
228 Mon Jan 11 21:53:16 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
229 * Fixed the bugs in "Site-wide configuration"

232 Fri Jan 8 22:20:54 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
233 * Reduced the multiple cookies down to one cookie combining all data.
235 Mon Jan 4 23:04:36 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
236 * Removed wc_host and wc_port cookies.
237 * Added an "edit your session" screen to change your wholisting.
239 Sun Jan 3 20:05:31 EST 1999 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
240 * Added "enter registration"
241 * Set up automatic trigger of Enter Registration when the server
243 * Established that a one-to-one WebCit/Citadel correspondence will
244 be required. No big deal due to shared code segments.
245 * Added "change password"
246 * Added networking configuration screens. These still need testing.
247 * Added a "kill session" link to each line of the wholist when
248 logged in as an aide, and the screens to perform this operation.
250 Thu Dec 31 21:53:20 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>

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

273 * Changed the "auto read new" functionality from a meta refresh tag
274 to an "onload" directive (the former was causing graphics problems)

292 1998-12-14 Nathan Bryant <bryant@cs.usm.maine.edu>
293 * automatically regenerate Makefile when Makefile.in changes
295 Sun Dec 13 13:35:12 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
296 * context_loop.c: Moved "remove session" into its own function.
297 Check for dead webcit child process before each transaction.
298 * Ignore SIGPIPE; this seems to magically make the program bulletproof
299 against broken HTTP connections.
300 * Added a housekeeping thread to periodically remove dead sessions
301 and kill idle sessions.
302 * messages.c: added "delete message" functionality
303 * messages.c: added "move message" functionality

317 Wed Dec 9 18:50:46 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
318 * context_loop.c: After fork(), child process closes the HTTP socket
319 so when the parent process closes it, it actually _does_ close.
320 Otherwise, aIEeeee and possibly other browsers will hang.
321 * Added support for graphics images retrieved from the Citadel server.
322 * Set up login banner graphic and background image graphic
324 1998-12-09 Nathan Bryant <bryant@cs.usm.maine.edu>
325 * context_loop.c, webserver.c, webserver.h: SO_LINGER and locking fix
327 Wed Dec 9 11:13:48 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>

329 now works the way it should.
330 * Added support for new user login (still need to handle registration).
332 Tue Dec 8 15:45:42 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
333 * Discovered that the HTTP socket problem is related to a socket that
334 isn't properly lingering on close. Temporarily hacked a sleep(10)
335 into context_loop.c until it is figured out.
337 Mon Dec 7 17:03:18 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
338 * Did a little debugging, still trying to figure out why logging in
339 displays "Connection reset by peer" error. It used to work...
341 1998-12-07 Nathan Bryant <bryant@cs.usm.maine.edu>
342 * Makefile.in: updated dependencies
344 Sun Dec 6 19:50:55 EST 1998 Art Cancro <ajc@uncnsrd.mt-kisco.ny.us>
