NAME
mgpnet —
SYNOPSIS
mgpnet |
[arguments to mgp] |
DESCRIPTION
mgpnet is a small http server to be executed on the
presenter's notebook computer. It lets audience read MagicPoint presentation
foils on her notebook computers, over the net.
When a presenter performs a presentation, she should invoke
mgpnet instead of mgp, with
the same argument. mgpnet will become an http server
running on tcp port 9999 (by default), and invokes
mgp as a child process. By accessing URL
http://hostname:9999/, audience will be able to read
the MagicPoint window currently displayed on the presenter's notebook. The
webpage provided by mgpnet is designed in
"client pull" manner; audience's notebook will reload the page,
several times a minute.
If no option is specified, mgpnet will
print the URL to be accessed by the audience to the standard output. This is
useful for indicating the URL to be accessed on the presentation, like:
%filter "mgpnet" %endfilter
TODO
Be network conscious. Current implementation is too naive about CPU/network usage. Presenter's notebook may be overloaded if there's too many audiences.SEE ALSO
mgp(1), xwintoppm(1).HISTORY
mgpnet was created by Jun-ichiro itojun Itoh
<itojun@itojun.org>, on the day before the newyear's eve, 1997.
