This archive  contains the sources for a shared library that implements a
ByteServing plugin for the Netscape WWW server NetSite.

magnus.conf     --Modified server configuration file that loads  byteserver.so
obj.conf        --Modified server configuration file that instructs NetSite to
                byte-serve PDF files
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Compile the library for your platform.

You can tailor the Makefile by examining the examples/Makefile found in your
NetSite installation.  You should unpack and compile the sources in a
sub-directory of directory nsapi under your NetSite server installation.

2)Updating server configuration:

You can find your server configuration files under the /conf" (or /config)
sub-directory of your NetSite installation.

A) The sample magnus.conf file provided with this package   loads the
shared library byteserver.so by making the following incantation:

    Init fn=load-modules shlib="<install-dir>/byteserver.so" funcs="DoByteRangeProtocol"

Add a similar line to the magnus.conf of your NetSite server, 
where <install-dir> is replaced by the pathname of the directory where you
place byteserver.so.

B) Update obj.conf in the server configuration directory to have files of type
Application/pdf byte-served:

The sample obj.conf that is provided with this package has been modified to do
this by adding the line:

#List byteserving service for pdf up front
Service method=(GET|HEAD) type="application/pdf" fn=DoByteRangeProtocol

Note: As indicated in the comment above, it's important to make sure that you
list the byte-serving service early in the obj.conf to ensure that it takes
effect --this is especially important if you've already heavily customized
your site's obj.conf.

3) Restart your server and you should be ready to byte-serve PDF files upon
request.
