Author:         	Stegemann & Co., Inc. (diner@stegemann.net)
Release:        	1
Version:        	1.4
Compatibility:  	R4
Location:       	/contrib/network
Notes:

diner is the first third party HTTP-server for the BeOS. It was 
written from the ground up and is a 100% native implementation, 
designed to support and use the BeOS' special features and capabilites.

In addition to standard features, such as support for virtual servers 
and multiple ports, it uses the BeOS AddOn interface to enable easy 
integration of custom built server extensions.

The enhanced InlineModuleInvocation system makes it trivial to host 
dynamic web pages with some simple lines of HTML.

Templates allow for fast on the fly convertion of any filetype into HTML.
You can easily convert e.g. your people files on the fly or you can generate
online directory listings.

With this flexible solution, the integration of PHP as an external
service is a must. Our in house made port of PHP is shipped with
diner.

diner is part of the InternetSuite - the server package including 
HTTP, FTP and e-Mail servers. This version is without keyfile which 
puts some restrictions on it. There is no time limitation on the 
restricted version of diner.

Maybe we can make you a special offer.

Changes: 

	- All modules are now AddOns, including the IMI modules. The
	  AddOn API is still beta, so it is subject to change and not yet
	  documented. 
	- Some internal restructering improved performance a lot, but
	  the performance of the AddOns is still a bit low.
	- The unregistered licence is not time limited anymore. You may
	  use the limited version of diner now as long as you want. 
	- Added Info module for InlineModuleInvocation. This module fills
	  in informations about the requested file itself. 
	- FBQuery module for InlineModuleInvocation. This adds FrontBase
	  support to diner! Link your HTML pages dynamically to the 
	  FrontBase database! 
	- PHP is included now! The executable for php and a template to 
	  make it work with your PHP-HTML pages.
 	- Added templates. Instead of the requested file, a template is
	  sent. 
	  Together with the Info module you can easily convert e.g. your
	  people files on the fly or you can generate online directory
	  listings.
