This is really a pity :-( That's definately a pity! The web server uses ports 80-84 and 6510 and the RTSP server runs on port 554. The reason why the web server run on a those ports is that the front page uses a special overload-optimized HTTP/TCP hack that requires no connection state in the server. This makes it possible for the server to sustain a very large amount of hits. During testing, we observed that the server could serve nearly 8000 pages in about 30 minutes. That translates into 4 hits per second! The ports 80-84 each correspond to the frames on the front page and the commodore logo. The server doesn't even look at the contents of the TCP segments it receives for those ports - it just blindly sends out a web page in response to any HTTP request it receives. It is a hack, but it works in most cases. /adam -- Adam Dunkels <adam_at_sics.se> http://www.sics.se/~adam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
