WHY
Since the TCP implementation of the assignment uses the Stop and Wait protocol, it is (except for the setup handshake) not compatible with 'regular' TCP.

WHAT
To do some interesting testing on the TCP/HTTP implementation of assignments 1 and 2, I adapted the Chimera browser. When linked with the libtcp.a, it can be used to look at (a local copy of) this demo site, this mini demo site or a site of your own design.

HOW
.  To get the adapted Chimera browsers working, download the chimera.o-file.

:  Link the file with the command:
acc -bsd -stack 15m -o chimera chimera.o -L/here/is/my/lib -ltcp -lip -lcn

:.  If the libcn.a is on an other directory, use the -L/here/is/the/cn/lib flag. Some people can not link using the original cnlib.a, they are advised to use this functinal copy of the CN library.

::  To create the needed .html -files, download the cnwww.tar.gz-file (4MB) or cnwwwmini.tar.gz-file (375KB) and extract it in /home/cn/www or design your own site.

::.  Start your www daemon in one window with:
while true; do httpd /home/cn/www; done
and start the browser in the other with:
chimera http://130.37.MY.IP/index.html
