The World Wide Web Directories in the UWM Computer Science Department
---------------------------------------------------------------------
                    HOW TO USE THE PUBLIC WWW AREA

1) Create a directory for yourself in /pub/www/public.
   Please only create one directory at this level.

2) In your directory create an index.html file, this is your home page.

3) DO NOT create links to other parts of the file system for web browsers to 
   follow.

4) Make sure that your directory is world executable (i.e. 755) and all
   files are world readable (i.e. 644).

5) After you do the above steps, you are done. 
   'Public Areas for Computer science' index   should notice
   that you have setup a www directory immediatly. The index only adds an
   entry that matchs your login id.

    The URL for which others access your pages can be one of the following:

       http://www.cs.uwm.edu/~loginid

CGI Programing
--------------
   To do cgi programing, name the program with .cgi on the end 
   and set the execute bit.

   Just like an .html file is a hypertext document. Same goes for .cgi.
   Anything named with a .cgi on the end is considered a cgi program.

   Cgi programs named with .cgi run as nobody, a non-priv user-id. These
   programs cannot write data back.

   CGI's That write data back
   ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 
   To do cgi programing that can write data back, name the program with .cgix
   on the end and set the execute bit.

   Just like an .html file is a hypertext document. Same goes for '.cgix'.
   Anything named with a .cgix on the end is considered a cgi program 
   that can write data back.

   These programs run as your userid, and this permits you to write 
   data back to your web directory or  you main directory of your account.

   Anything named .cgix is considered a cgi program that runs as the user.
   there are specific requirements on what urls and where the program can
   be in order to run as the user.

   The url MUST be of the form http://www.cs.uwm.edu/~loginid/somedir/blah.cgix
   it cannot be http://www.cs.uwm.edu/public/loginid/somedir/blah.cgix

   It also must be one of the following directories: 
    /pub/www/faculty  /pub/www/public/ /pub/www/classes /pub/www/lab 
    /pub/www/research

   The first directory it finds that contains a directory with the users
   loginid will be where the program executes.


   e.g.  http://www.cs.uwm.edu/~someuser/test.cgix
         location of program   /pub/www/public/someuser/test.cgix

SHTML
-----
   Server parsed html is supported, but exec's are disabled due to security
   reasons. Simply name the page with .shtml on the end of it.
