HTTPFILE(4)                Kernel Interfaces Manual                HTTPFILE(4)



NAME
       httpfile - serve a single web file

SYNOPSIS
       httpfile  [ -9d ] [ -c count ] [ -f file ] [ -m mtpt ] [ -s srvname ] [
       -x net ] url

DESCRIPTION
       Httpfile serves the web page specified by the URL url  as  a  new  file
       file  in the directory mtpt.  The default file is the last path element
       of the URL, and the default mtpt is the current directory.

       Httpfile does not download large files all at once.   Instead,  it  re‐
       quests  64-kilobyte blocks as they are needed to satisfy reads, caching
       a few blocks in memory at a time.

       The -D and -d options enable a trace of the 9P traffic and general  de‐
       bugging messages.

       The  -s  option  causes httpfile to post the 9P service as /srv/srvname
       and disables the default mount.

       The  -x  option  specifies  an  alternate  network   directory   (e.g.,
       /net.alt).

       The -c option sets the number of file blocks kept cached in memory (de‐
       fault 32).

EXAMPLE
       Mount an ISO image on a web server:

              ip/httpfile http://www.9grid.de/plan9/plan9.iso
              9660srv
              mount /srv/9660 /n/iso plan9.iso
