DESCRIPTION

This document assumes that the reader has read at least the TEApot Introduction, and the TEApot Glossary of Terms.

This tool makes a local repository (opaque or transparent) available over the network to one or more TEApot Repository Clients. Such clients will see the exported repository as remote opaque.

Commands

teapot serve ?--cache? path ?port?: Exports the repository at the directory path using a TCP/IP listening socket listening on the specified TCP/IP port.

If the option --cache is specified the server will create a directory "htmlcache" under path and use it to cache the results of requested urls.

If the user did not specify a port the default port (46336) is used.
teapot version: Prints the version number of the tool to the standard output.
teapot who: Prints the complete teapot meta data of the tool to the standard output.

Protocol

The protocol used between teapot servers and teapot clients is currently not publically documented.
