Hi,
I have an application question. It's not specific to tclhttpd, but
it's about passing http data from one place to another. If this
question would be better off somewhere else, please let me know where
else to ask.
I have a compute server on a LAN, which is running a huge third party
program that internally uses sockets to present some of its output as
web pages. When I'm on the LAN, I can point netscape at a certain
port on the compute server and get this output.
I need to be able to access this data remotely. When I am outside the
LAN, there is a gateway machine on the LAN which I can telnet into.
None of the other machines on the LAN are visible from the outside
world. So, I can telnet into the gateway, and then telnet into the
compute server; but I can't connect to the port on the compute server,
because the compute server isn't visible from outside the LAN.
Basically, it seems I need to run some http server on the gateway
which will simply pass my request from outside the LAN, onto the
port on the compute server, and then pass the data back to me
outside the LAN.
I'm an experienced C/Tcl programmer, but I don't know much about
httpd and sockets. I was able to install and bring up tclhttpd
pretty quickly. If I knew what terms to use, I could probably
configure and/or extend tclhttpd to do what I need; but I'm stuck.
Can anybody suggest how I should go about this?
Thanks in advance,
