gridchat web

This application is an extension of rc-httpd(8). It supports the Range HTTP header field.

For correctly retrieving the data from files, this repository also contains a native plan9 application (C source code in /src, there's also a mkfile).

In addition, the use case is providing a progressive web app for reading and writing the gridchat.

Installation

You need a plan9/9front system. The repository is complete, so after cd src; mk install you should be ready to go. The run script prepares the namespace.

You need to mount the gridchat to /n/chat before starting the run script.

Additional Information

• We extend the default serve-static with correct javascript mime types (bin/serve-static-modern).
• We understand Ranges like bytes=1-2 and bytes=1-, but no combinations like bytes=1-2, 5-6.
• To use the progressive web app features without https, you can whitelist the domain (in chome at least). See the chrome://flags.
