Hi,
I am trying to write a simple webservice to act as part of a larger application and I figured that cmdsrv would be exactly what I am looking for as a starting point. However when I try to browse to the machine running cmdsrv it is never happy with the request. What is a good request please? At present I am trying
as the address I am trying to browse to. I have tried running cmdsrv on XP and browsing from both XP and ubuntu and then I have tried cmdsrv on ubuntu and browsing from XP and ubuntu again and no response.
Firefox appears to know there is something there and waits but cmdsrv is never happy that a request has been made.
Perhaps an example of a well-formed request could be added to the example?
Sorry for that. Cmdsrv is a very old utility derived from imgsrv as its console counterpart, i.e. a very rudimentary example of a http server. I completely forgot about it over the years and so it was not up to date with some other parts of the Http server hackery. I have just fixed it and sent it to the SVN repository.
