HTML files for graphical user interface

  CreateBroker creates some HTML files to provide GUIs to the user:

query.html
Contains the GUI for the query interface. CreateBroker will install different query.html files for Glimpse and WAIS, since each subsystem requires different defaults and supports different functionality (e.g., WAIS doesn't support approximate matching like Glimpse). This is also the ``home page'' for the Broker and a link to this page is included at the bottom of all query results.

     

admin.html
Contains the GUI for the administrative interface. This file is installed into the admin directory of the Broker.

   

Brokers.cf
Contains the hostname and port information for the supported brokers. This file is installed into the $HARVEST_HOME directory. The query.html file uses the value of the ``broker'' FORM tag to pass the name of the broker to BrokerQuery.pl.cgi which in turn retrieves the host and port information from Brokers.cf.
