This directory contains the HTML CGI interface to Pegasus. It is used as part

of a demonstration of the Pegasus environment through a WEB browser

It consists of two subdirectories

htdocs - Contains the HTML forms that form the basis of the demonstration. The

starting point for the demo is index.html

cgi - This directory contains the CGI executables. This consists of the

Pegasus CGIClient.exe program and supporting .DLLs. We have placed them in

this directory despite the fact that they also exist in the PEGASUS_HOME/bin

directory to limit exposure to other executables through CGI and to avoid

having to have a permanent path the the $PEGASUS_HOME$/bin directory when

Apache is executing.

This demonstrations uses the HTML pages in htdocs as forms to generate CGI

requests through the WEB Server. These requests are services by the Pegasus

CGIClient.exe program (located in cgi). This program, in turn converts the

CGI forms input to Pegasus CIM Operations as Pegasus Client Operations and

passes them to the Pegasus CIM Server.

NOTE: Today, the Pegasus CIM server and the WEB server must be in the same

machine because CGIClient fixes the address and port of the CIM server as

URL - localhost

Port - 8888

This will be modified in the future.

To use this demonstration, you must have a you must add definitions to your

web server. For example, in Apace, the followingdefintions to httpd.conf would

workd if the %PEGASUS_ROOT% was D:/tog/pegasus.

ScriptAlias /pegasus/cgi-bin "D:/tog/pegasus/cgi/cgi-bin"

Alias /pegasus/icons "D:/tog/pegasus/cgi/icons"

To use the CGI interface, type "make" in this directory. Next run the

Server like this:

C:\> Server <pegasus-build-directory>

C:\> Server <pegasus-run-directory>

where <pegasus-run-directory> is required only if PEGASUS_HOME environment

variable is not defined.

Then go to your browser and type in this URL:

http://<yourhost>/pegasus

Thus if the browser is on the same machine, enter localhost/pegasus

This demonstration can be used either locally or from a remote browser
