#!/usr/bin/env retro # Atua-WWW: Serving Gopher to Web Browsers Atua is a Gopher server written in Retro. I've used it for a few years, but most people don't use Gopher clients these days. This is a variation of Atua that translates the Gopher directories to HTML and speaks enough HTTP to serve files to the bloated browsers in use today. This will get run as an inetd service, which keeps things simple as it prevents needing to handle socket I/O directly. Atua-WWW uses Retro's *retro-unix* interface layer. Designed to run a single program then exit, this makes using Retro very useful on Unix (or Linux, Haiku, or other POSIX-ish systems). # Configuration Atua needs to know: - the path to the files to serve - the name of the index file - The maximum length of a selector ~~~ '/home/crc/atua 'PATH s:const '/gophermap 'DEFAULT-INDEX s:const #1024 'MAX-SELECTOR-LENGTH const ~~~ # I/O Words Retro only supports basic output by default. The RRE interface that Atua uses adds support for files and stdin, so we map these to words and provide some other helpers. ## Console Output The Gopher protocol uses tabs and cr/lf for signficant things. To aid in this, I define output words for tabs and end of line. ~~~ :eol (-) ASCII:CR c:put ASCII:LF c:put ; ~~~ ## Console Input Input lines end with a cr, lf, or tab. The `eol?` checks for this. The `s:get` word could easily be made more generic in terms of what it checks for. This suffices for a Gopher server though. ~~~ :eol?
