This is a pure-Tcl implementation of an HTTP protocol server. It runs as
a script on  top of a vanilla Tcl interpreter  using tcllib scripts and,
optionally, two binary libraries (crypt and limit).

The Tcl I/O system provides  event-driven I/O facilities and a primitive
that copies  data from one I/O  channel to another. The  server does the
HTTP protocol handling  and then simply directs the I/O  system to blast
data from  disk to  a network  socket. The  server has  suprisingly good
performance because of Tcl's sophisticated I/O system.

The HTTP protocol is perhaps the least interesting aspect of the server.
The cool stuff is the framework for generating dynamic page content, and
the support for  embedding the server directly  into legacy applications
to "web-enable" them.

A Tcl-based web  server is ideal for embedding because  Tcl was designed
to support embedding into other  applications. The interpreted nature of
Tcl  allows  dynamic  reconfiguration  of  the  server.  Once  the  core
interface between the web server and the hosting application is defined,
it  is  possible to  manage  the  web  server, upload  Safe-Tcl  control
scripts, download logging information, and  otherwise debug the Tcl part
of the application without restarting the hosting application.

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().

In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.

Use the USE_TCL knob and rely on the variables set by bsd.tcl.mk
instead of figuring them out ourselves. Switching to USE_TCL makes
this port depend on Tcl-8.5 by default now, hence the PORTREVISION
bump.

Begin the process of deprecating sysutils/rc_subr by
s#. %%RC_SUBR%%#. /etc/rc.subr#

Fix a few "bad example" problems in the rc.d scripts that have been
propogated by copy and paste.

1. Primarily the "empty variable" default assignment, which is mostly
${name}_flags="", but fix a few others as well.
2. Where they are not already documented, add the existence of the _flags
(or other deleted empties) option to the comments, and in some cases add
comments from scratch.
3. Replace things that look like:
prefix=%%PREFIX%%
command=${prefix}/sbin/foo
to just use %%PREFIX%%. In many cases the $prefix variable is only used
once, and in some cases it is not used at all.
4. In a few cases remove ${name}_flags from command_args
5. Remove a long-stale comment about putting the port's rc.d script in
/etc/rc.d (which is no longer necessary).

No PORTREVISION bumps because all of these changes are noops.

- Move from versioned tcl/tk CATEGORIES to simple tcl and tk categories

With hat:       portmgr

- Make tcllib depobjs version independent

Pointy hat to:  mi

The previous commit, which was supposed to simply update the
tcllib dependency, accidentally introduced reference to unfinished
work on the generation of locale-independent dates for HTTP-headers.

Finish (and unbreak) this work and allow the server to run in
non-English/ASCII locales. Changes submitted to the (dormant) vendor.

Grrrr. This tcllib-dependant port slipped through due to my local
modifications. Mad as a (pointy)hatter...

Don't install httpd.1 twice -- as tclhttpd.1 and as httpd.1.

Remove the (hopefully) last vestige of the late utimes command.

Update dependency lines in amsn and tclxml.

Bump up RUN-dependency on tcllib from 1.4 to 1.6.

Upgrade from 3.3 to 3.4.2. Use tcl84 by default.

Clear moonlight beckons.
Requiem mors pacem pkg-comment,
And be calm ports tree.

Catch up to the new bsd.lib.mk API (the library is not internal).

Finally catch up with the version number change of devel/tcllib --
I guess, we need some pattern matching in the RUN_DEPENDS too --
this port would work happily with the old tcllib0.8 as well as
the new tcllib1.2.

${PREFIX}/share/${PORTNAME} --> ${DATADIR}    

The better fix for ports/27337 is,  IMO, to also install the man-page as  
tclhttpd.1 instead of the too generic (and usurped by Apache) httpd.1...    

add missing man pages    

Upgrade to the version 3.3...    

The previous commit by sobomax fixed the build, but quite terribly broke   the
install.  My version  used the  special Makefile  only to  build the   binary
lib. The installation was done by the software's Makefile.    

Use LOCALBASE instead of PREFIX when specifying -L search path for linker.    

o Fix build by replacing custom do-build target with set of stock    
MAKEFILE/MAKE_ENV/MAKE_ARGS variables.   o Slightly reorder variables to make
Makefile more readable.    

Provide the default setting for PREFIX...    

Bring to the latest version. Link all of the little external libraries   needed
by the tclhttpd into one file. I submitted this back in December,   but nobody
cared since. Now I can commit this myself :)    

Some spaces -> tabs for ports/www.    

Remove stray directory on deinstall    

Convert category www to new layout.  

Fix a bug that's causes a TCL error in seriously wrong network   conditions.    

Add tclhttpd, a pure-Tcl implementation of a HTTP server.
