[Pianod] web client how to?

[Perette Barella]

Hi Peter,

> Okay, so I'm running wsgw on 8000; I think it's working as it runs without complaining and if I try to connect my browser to http://localhost:8000 it spins forever, which I interpret as it is finding something there but not what it expects...  On the other hand, I don't get any feedback running wsgw with -h -l, so maybe something is wrong?

Before starting wsgw, try telnet localhost 8000 (Use telnet, I don't think netcat gives the error).  You should get a connection refused message; if not, there's something else there.  I expect there's not because wsgw would have complained, but since it's new software and you're not getting output even with -l -h let's not trust it.

If that's good startup wsgw.  ps -ef | gre wsgw and you should have one instance of it running.  Now either telnet or netcat localhost 8000.  If you ps -ef | grep wsgw, you should see two wsgw running now.  To test wsgw, using ^J for newlines instead of <enter>:
GET /foobar HTTP/1.1
<blank line>

You should get back:
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

If that works, then wsgw is running/responding to HTTP requests.

Let me know on that stuff, I'll try to think how to debug further along.
