Nifty, the 'Easter Edition' .. thanks! :) .tap is missing again. Best Wishes, (And Happy Easer!) Al. -----Original Message----- From: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE [mailto:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE] On Behalf Of Johnny Billquist Sent: Sunday, March 27, 2016 7:49 AM To: hecnet at Update.UU.SE; Info-PDP11 at dbit.com; SIMH <simh at trailing-edge.com> Subject: [HECnet] Announcing TCP/IP for RSX-11M-PLUS Time for a new release announcement of TCP/IP for RSX-11M-PLUS. A couple of important fixes have been done since the last release. Things that have been done since the last release: TCP: - Bugfix: If a socket was reused after closing down, without the application doing a close, the sequence number from the previous connection was reused. It should be reinitialized every time a session is set up. DECnet-over-IP: - Bugfix: If a connection over TCP got out of sync it could go into an unrecoverable state. - (Also note that DECnet-over-IP could reuse connections that were shut down without closing them, thus the fix to TCP mentioned above specifically affects DECnet-over-IP.) HTTP: - Added If-Modified-Since and If-Unmodified-Since parsing and handling. - Added a default mapping for users that do not have a PUBLIC.TXT file. - Improved installation to not overwrite configuration for HTTPD. - Reworked the CGI interface so that it now handles multipart posts. This means it can be used for uploads and all kind of complex forms. - Added a [CGIDEMO] directory with some example programs on how to use CGI. - Added some library functions to IND to handle the CGI interface. - Changed HTTP server to use a logical name for the configuration directory. FTPD: - Improved logging. As usual, the distribution is available from: ftp://mim.update.uu.se/bqtcp.dsk ftp://mim.update.uu.se/bqtcp.tap ftp://ftp.update.uu.se/pub/pdp11/rsx/tcpip/tcpip.dsk The documentation is also available through ftp on Mim, or also at http://mim.update.uu.se/tcpipdoc Note! I've realized that BQTCP/IP do not work right if you have a PDP-11/74 with multiple processors online. I'll fix that at some point, as it's probably just a case of affinity not being set on devices, nor relevant processes. This might only be a problem with telnet in fact. I know for sure that the IP and TCP drivers works ok in multiprocessor systems.
