NAME

       in.nanoweb - inetd mode wrapper script for Nanoweb

DESCRIPTION

       in.nanoweb  is  run  from  the  internet  superserver  daemon  inetd(8)  whenever a request on port 80 is
       detected. It then starts up a copy of the Nanoweb  HyperText  Transfer  Protocol  server  to  handle  the
       incoming request.

       inetd passes the opened socket connection as stdin to this wrapper script.

NOTES

       Usually there should already be a line in inetd.conf(5) which tells inetd to run this wrapper, so you may
       just have to uncomment it.

       Additionally  in.nanoweb  requires  getpeername(1)  from the tcputils package to determine the IP and TCP
       port address from the requesting host,  as  Nanoweb  currently  cannot  determine  this  itself  (due  to
       limitations of the sockets extension in the php(1) scripting language).

FILES

       /etc/inetd.conf
              This file contains the line which can enable activation of in.nanoweb on incoming requests.
