Re: [9fans] NIX 64-bit kernel is available
Very nice. Are you sure you want to call it NIX, though? A google search for nix kernel returns a lot of unrelated results. http://www.google.com/#hl=enq=nix+kernel How about, Plan-64? - Leonard
Re: [9fans] NIX 64-bit kernel is available
We have discussed this. Nixie was a proposed new name, but for now we'd rather get the actual code and distribution right than worry about the name. John http://doc.cat-v.org/bell_labs/the_hideous_name/ - Leonard

[9fans] 9ttp
With 9p's ability to send and receive arbitrary information as file i/o, does http remain necessary? Is there any reason that 9p cannot do this ... ''HTTP functions as a request-responsehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request-responseprotocol in the client-server http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-server computing model. In HTTP, a web browser http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser, for example, acts as a *client*, while an application running on a computer hosting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host_%28network%29 a web sitehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_sitefunctions as a *server*. The client submits an HTTP *request* message to the server. The server, which stores content, or provides *resources*, such as HTMLhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTMLfiles, or performs other functions on behalf of the client, returns a response message to the client. A response contains completion status information about the request and may contain any content requested by the client in its message body.'' -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Http#Technical_overview - Leonard

What I'd really like to see is an addressbookfs example. The server stores a list of addresses, in a flat-file, or a database. The server also provides control-files for CRUD operations. The server optionally provides html-files, as an interface to CRUD operations. Anyone know if such an example exists? Wondering whether such an example would prove that p9p could replace a LAMP stack. - Leonard

It is quite old, and although is still valid, I should finish more examples. Extending it to p9p's 9p(3) and Inferno's styxserver(10) is in my TODO list, but it will still be there for a while. If you write a p9p's hello world server, let me know and I can add it to that page. By the way, there probably are more 9p implementations than real programs using them, but they are not very different. What you really need to understand is how the protocol works. It's actually quite simple. Nemo's book includes a very good explanation, which is completed by the man pages. Also, try to find an existing file server which matches what you need as much as possible and go on from there. -- - yiyus || JGL . Compiled and ran timefs in the go9p examples. Wondering now how to do timefs in p9p. Thought using p9p would be more concise, since it has 9pclient library and 9pserve program. Wondering how to write a timefs in go, that uses 9pclient and 9pserve. What is Nemo's book? - Leonard
[9fans] 9p hello world
Dear 9fans, Looking for a hello world example, between client and server, conversing with 9p. A google search for 9p hello world returned basically nothing. It seems like there might be a hello world example for libixp ... http://www.anarchyinthetubes.com/src/hello_libixp Looking for an example based on plan9port, though. Any suggestions? Cheers, Leonard

Wanted to try 9pclient and 9pserve from plan9port. go9p looks promising, though.
