OSR5 FAQ
How do I access online docs from a browser?
Point your browser at port 457, and ask for document dochome.html. For example, if your server is server.foo.com, use the URL http://server.foo.com:457/dochome.html
You don't have access to the search tools this way, but you can simulate that with the following cgi-bin script.
#!/bin/sh
# @(#) nftpsearch - wrapper for simple form access to scohelp search engine
# call without QUERY_STRING set html form, with QUERY_STRING for search
# relies on single Form search field called query
#
# Install as: /var/scohttp/cgi-bin/nftsearch.sh on OSR5.0.[024] systems.
# Access via: URL:<http://localhost:457/cgi-bin/nftsearch.sh> (any browser)
if [ -z "$QUERY_STRING" ] ; then
HELP_SVR="http://localhost:457" # YOUR HELP SERVER system
SCRIPT="$HELP_SVR/cgi-bin/nftsearch.sh" # cgi-bin path of this script

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.
Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
