Apache::BioChrome is an Apache handler for Image::BioChrome to colorize gif files based on information provided in the url.

SYNOPSIS

#httpd.conf
PerlTransHandler Apache::BioChrome

# anywhere you can configure a location
< Location /biochrome >
PerlSetVar biochrome_cache /tmp/biochrome
PerlSetVar biochrome_source /usr/www/images/biochrome
< /Location >

This module is designed to allow the automatic building of gif images that make up an interface by using the Image::BioChrome module to replace values in the global color table. It takes the color information from the URL and creates a copy of the gif file from the source directory in the location specified by the biochrome cache variable. This file is then returned by apache using the standard delivery method.

I developed this module because we produce lots of web sites where a high proportion of the site interface is common. But where images need to be in a different color for specific sites.
Once you have the handler setup as above you can call it in two different ways:
/biochrome/alpha_ff0000_0000ff/picure.gif

Will take the file picture.gif and do an alpha map replacement using the colors ff0000 and 0000ff as the two ends of the spectrum. The use of alpha maps should be familiar to anyone who uses photoshop or gimp a lot. Essentially the colors are taken from the url and used as follows. The first color will be the background color of the image. The second color will be applied to those pixels where the red channel is turned on.

/biochrome/ff0000_00ff00_0000ff_ccffff/picure.gif

Will take the file and replace colors in the global color table with those provided on the url. In the example whatever color was the first in the color table will be replaced with red. Colors are replaced until we run out of replacements or positions in the color table to replace.

For further details of how to create your graphics and examples of using BioChrome see the examples directory or the Image::BioChrome documentation.

Filter::Simple::Compile is a drop-in replacement to Filter::Simple.

SYNOPSIS

Drop-in replacement for Filter::Simple:
package MyFilter;
use Filter::Simple::Compile;
FILTER { ... };

This way also works:
use Filter::Simple::Compile sub { ... };

This module lets you write Module::Compile extensions that are compatible with Filter::Simples API.

Additionally, no Filter::Simple::Compile does the same thing as use Filter::Simple::Compile, except the meaning for use and no will be reversed for your filter:

package MyFilter;
no Filter::Simple::Compile sub { ... }

# "no MyFilter" begins filtering
# "use MyFilter" terminates it

IceS provides an mp3 streamer for the icecast system.

Ices is an mp3 streamer for the icecast system, and is developed by the icecast team.

It is a replacement for Shout, and its features include embedded perl and python scripting, reencoding, and xml config files.

slakbootIBS (Slackware Interactive Boot Scripts) is an enhanced set of replacement boot scripts for the Slackware Linux distribution.

Slackware Interactive Boot Scripts includes a set of control and dispatch tools for configuring and booting with colorized interactive scripts. The new boot process allows the operator to select or skip start-up components in realtime.

It facilitates debugging of startup problems and allows operators to maintain a common baseline to support several local configurations or multiple servers with a single set of scripts.

SSL-Explorer project is the worlds first open-source SSL VPN solution of its kind. This unique remote access solution provides users and businesses alike with a means of securely accessing network resources from outside the network perimeter using only a standard web browser.
SSL-based VPNs have become a hot topic in recent years. The benefits to productivity and the low maintenance overhead that comes with browser-based VPN solutions are something that cannot be overlooked by most businesses, though implementation costs can often be prohibitive.
In contrast to a conventional IPsec-based solution, no client side code needs to be installed on your end users systems. SSL VPNs rely on Javatm based technology and hence require only a standard web browser to operate.
Standard network protocols can be tunnelled through the SSL connection, meaning that email and intranet web/file resources are easily and securely accessible from outside the corporate network.
The use of SSL is highly beneficial in these circumstances since most firewall policies grant access to SSL traffic by default, meaning that no additional configuration is required. Our solution is not a firewall, but it effectively allows you to lock-down your network, leaving just a single port open on your firewall.

retawq is an interactive, multi-threaded network client (web browser) for text terminals on computers with Unix-like operating systems. It is written in C, fast, small, nicely configurable, and comfortable; e.g. the low-level network communications are performed in a non-blocking way, and you can open many "virtual windows" as you want and work simultaneously in two of them in a split-screen mode.
Main features:
- multi-window - you can open as many "virtual windows" as you like and work simultaneously in two of them in a split-screen mode
- multi-view - you can view a long series of documents within each browser window and easily go back and forth
- internationalization (i18n) - optional support for several natural languages (currently English, French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese); cf. the compile-time configuration option OPTION_I18N
- mouse - optional mouse support for higher comfort; cf. the compile-time configuration option OPTION_TEXTMODEMOUSE
- contextual menus - so you need not remember all those boring keyboard commands :-)
- sessions - you can save current sessions and resume them at any later time
- keymaps - for the flexible association of keys with program actions
- incremental display - content is displayed as soon as it is received from the server; you need not twiddle thumbs until the whole document (or a large portion of it) has been received
- resizable terminals - retawq tries to utilize the extents of your terminal optimally; and when you resize it, the visible documents are immediately re-layouted within the new boundaries (if the libraries on your computer support this); any terminal size from 30x10 to 250x250 characters (width x height) is supported.
- several interfaces - theres more than just a web browser: you can start the program in different runmodes, e.g. to download a file "in the background" or to get a shell-like FTP client
- configurability - many compile-time, command-line and run-time configuration options are provided; additionally, you can choose the classical-style Makefile or the more modern/portable configure script
- multi-threading - retawq optionally uses (moderate) multi-threading in order to make fast, responsive use possible
- network protocols - several access methods are supported: HTTP/1.1 and 1.0 (including proxies and cookies), https (ditto), FTP, ftps, news/NNTP, finger, local files and directories, local CGI scripts; cf. URL Schemes for more information; other protocols will follow
- HTML renderer - more than 60 tags are known; the form support is quite complete (except file upload); more than 130 character entities are known, many others can be guessed; preliminary (little) support for tables and framesets exists
- IPv6 - optional support for the "next generation" Internet Protocol version; cf. the compile-time configuration option OPTION_IPV6
- fast, small, portable and stable - a special emphasis is put on keeping the program very fast and small but making it comfortable, nicely configurable and standards-compliant nevertheless
- low requirements - runs nicely even on slow computers with little memory; also doesnt require much from its environment: only a standard C library with rather little functionality is needed, anything else can be either disabled or configured to use existing libraries or to fall back on built-in replacements
