Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

henrietta

Introduction

A program that serves eggs from a local tree or Subversion repository over HTTP.

Usage

Invoke henrietta on the command-line, like this:

 usage: henrietta [OPTION ...]
 
   -h   -help                    show this message
        -query QUERYSTRING       supply query-string on the command-line
        -remote REMOTEADDR       supply remote address on the command-line
   -l   -location LOCATION       install from given location (default: current directory)

henrietta is intended to be used as a CGI program and takes a query string and remote address as arguments, either using the command-line options -query and -remote or by setting the QUERY_STRING and REMOTE_ADDR environment variables.

The query string should contain any of the following parameters:

name: specifies the name of the requested extension
version: specifies what version should be retrieved
release: specifies for what major CHICKEN release we want the extension
tests: if non-empty, also include test-files in the retrieved data
list: just list all available extensions
listversions: list available versions for the extension given in name

Example CGI Script

#!/bin/sh

# Change these to suitable values for your machine.
# The egg repository should be populated by henrietta-cache or something similar
export HENRIETTA=/home/chickens/use-this/henrietta/bin/henrietta
export EGG_REPOSITORY=/var/cache/henrietta
export LOGFILE=/tmp/henrietta-cache.log

exec "$HENRIETTA" -l "$EGG_REPOSITORY" 2>>"$LOGFILE"
