10 This directory contains the HTML CGI interface to Pegasus. It is used as part
11 of a demonstration of the Pegasus environment through a WEB browser
12
13
14 It consists of two subdirectories
15
16 htdocs - Contains the HTML forms that form the basis of the demonstration. The
17 starting point for the demo is index.html
18
19 cgi - This directory contains the CGI executables. This consists of the
20 Pegasus CGIClient.exe program and supporting .DLLs. We have placed them in
21 this directory despite the fact that they also exist in the PEGASUS_HOME/bin
22 directory to limit exposure to other executables through CGI and to avoid
23 having to have a permanent path the the $PEGASUS_HOME$/bin directory when
24 Apache is executing.
25
26 This demonstrations uses the HTML pages in htdocs as forms to generate CGI
|
27 karl 1.4 requests through the WEB Server. These requests are serviced by the Pegasus
28 CGIClient.exe program (copied to cgi-bin with the Makefile in this directory).
29 CGIClient, in turn converts the CGI forms input to Pegasus CIM Operations C++
30 calls. The Pegasus client library converts the calls to XML conformant with
31 the DMTF CIM Operations over HTTP defintions and passes them to the Pegasus
32 CIM Server.
33
34 The CIM server responses in XML are converted back to C++ responses at the CGI
35 client (part of the SDK code) and CGI client then make HTML pages out of the
36 responses and passes them back to the WEB server.

38 NOTE: Today, the Pegasus CIM server and the WEB server must be in the same
39 machine because CGIClient fixes the address and port of the CIM server as
40
41 URL - localhost
42 Port - 8888
43
44 This will be modified in the future.

46 karl 1.4 To use this demonstration, you must add definitions to your web server. For
47 example, in Apache, the following defintions in httpd.conf would word if the
48 %PEGASUS_ROOT% was D:/tog/pegasus.
|
49 mike 1.1
50 ScriptAlias /pegasus/cgi-bin "D:/tog/pegasus/cgi/cgi-bin"
51 Alias /pegasus/icons "D:/tog/pegasus/cgi/icons"
52 Alias /pegasus "D:/tog/pegasus/cgi/htdocs"
53
54 <Directory "D:/tog/pegasus/cgi/cgi-bin">
55 AllowOverride None
56 Options ExecCGI
57 allow from all
58 </Directory>

59 mike 1.2
60 To use the CGI interface, type "make" in this directory. Next run the
|
61 karl 1.3 Server like this:
62
63 C:\> Server <pegasus-run-directory>
|
64 mike 1.2
|
65 karl 1.3 where <pegasus-run-directory> is required only if PEGASUS_HOME environment
66 variable is not defined.
|
67 mike 1.2
68 Then go to your browser and type in this URL:
69
70 http://<yourhost>/pegasus
|
71 karl 1.3
72 Thus if the browser is on the same machine, enter localhost/pegasus
73
74 This demonstration can be used either locally or from a remote browser
