Ok. I just thought I'd stir some interest and just general noise by
announcing that I've written a small web-server running under RSX.
It's written in BASIC+2, and uses the TCP/IP stack for RSX that I've
also written. There are probably a bunch of bugs and issues still
around, so I'm happy to take any bug reports, comments or whatever.
The url is http://madame.update.uu.se/, and if anyone is curious about
the code, it's at mim.update.uu.se (same machine, other IP), under
MIM::DU:[HTTPD]WWW.B2S (also on HECnet)
If people have any interest in this stuff, or something else/more, I'm
interested in hearing about it. The TCP/IP stack will eventually (soon)
be available for others to download and use, and apart from the web
server, I've also written a telnet client, and a few small services
under TCP, as well as some tools for administration. I have some
polishing to do, I need to finish a DNS resolved, and I'd like to also
finish FTP and a telnet server, but I might be open to distributing
things before I've finished all those things, especially if someone is
interested in helping writing stuff.
I have interfaces completed for BASIC+2, PDP-11 C, Macro-11. FORTRAN 77
should also work, but I haven't tried it yet.
This all runs under RSX-11M-PLUS V4.6, but I think it should be possible
to get running under almost any M+ version, but there might be some
hacking needed for some versions.
It will not work under 11M, and I never expect it to. One or two drivers
as well as one or two tools really are big enough that I need to use the
split I/D space feature in M+. Rewriting stuff to not need that is way
too much work.

Sub zero cool!
What's the hardware?

Not sure why I didn't see the original. I have to agree, this is
*VERY* cool, as I suspect very few hobbyists have access to a TCP
stack for RSX-11M+ at this point! This is also the first I've heard
of a web server hosted on a PDP-11 running on something other than
RT-11.
Are you targeting a specific Ethernet interface?

Very nice!
I still recommend Gopher as a client. I think it's a great fit for small
systems, which is why I still run a Gopher server.

Wow, very nice!
Makes me to get more energy in getting the 11/70 running again.
I for one would definitely like to see the ftp & telnet server
parts. Being able to connect to, from and between 2 machines running
RSX would be a major feature for this O.S.
Sure, there is/was TCPWare and I had a demo key, but the tk50 media
got damaged making that a dead end.
Just wondering, how 'big' is the http task?
Regards,
Ed

Excellent effort! well done.
Any RSTS/E experts have an opinion on what might be needed to allow it
to work via the RTS mechanism in RSTS/E?

Johnny mentioned that his IP stack is implemented (at least in part)

Any RSTS/E experts have an opinion on what might be needed to allow it

"ordinary" executables
but not for device drivers or very deep
system-level stuff.
