Beyond HTML: HTTP Servers

Most folks need not run a server. Who should? Anyone who wants:

UNIX HTTPD has a simple shell interface, it's easy to write cgi-bin programs

	echo "Content-type: text/html"
	echo ""
	echo '<strong> Your parameters are '$*' </strong>'

Several versions (and a comparision) are available, but Apache is recommended

Set up your own server and read some tutorials for details on specific services

Make sure you read about Running a WWW Service too!
