+Hi !
+
+I've put in the CVS a new version of the webserver.
+This versions suports GET(1), HEAD(1), PUT(2), DELETE(2), TRACE & OPTIONS Methods.
+It allows the webmaster to define the relationship between extension and content-type (see WSTYPES.CFG)
+It allows the webmaster to define his own HTML errors messages.
+
+This version has also 3 new files :
+
+ws.cfg 			-> This the configuration file of the webserver.
+wstypes.cfg		-> This file defines the relation ship between extension and content-types.
+webserver.log		-> This file is automatically generated by the webserver. It is used by the webmaster
+			   to undelete files which has been deleted by a PUT or DELETE method.
+By now, this files must be in the root directory. (\epoc32\wins\C\ in the emulator)
+
+WS.CFG
+============
+
+BACKUP_PATH=\ws\backups\	-> Set the directory for security copies of deleted files by the PUT & DELETE methods.
+ERROR_PATH=\ws\error\		-> Set the directory where the user has his own HTML error messages.
+SERVER_PATH=\ws\		-> Set the root directory of the webserver.
+DEFAULT_RESOURCE=home.htm	-> Set the default resource name. 
+				   (e.g: http:://www.6pack.fi/tcpip/ => http:://www.6pack.fi/tcpip/home.htm)
+PORT=2080			-> Set the listen port.
+
+(Note: All the values which are not defined in ws.cfg are set with defaults values.)
+WSTYPES.CFG
+===========
+
+<extension_name>	<content-type>
+(e.g:
+html	text/html
+htm	text/html
+txt	text/plain
+gif	image/gif
+jpg	image/jpeg
+js	application/octet-stream
+ps	application/postscript 
+)
+
+HTML error files
+================
+
+The HTML error files must be named as "errorXXX.htm".
+The XXX is the error number. (eg: 404 Not found error will have a "error404.htm" HTML error file)
+If there is no error file definied the webserver will use its defaults HTML error messages.
+
+GET & HEAD Methods (1)
+======================
+
+This version of the webserver doesn't allow queries in these methods.Although, it will support very soon.
+
+PUT & DELETE Methods (2)
+========================
+
+These methods are allowed, but there is no authentication implemented yet. That means everybody can use these
+methods with out being authorized !!!
+ 
+/***************************************** NEW VERSION (8 - 2 - 2000) **************************************/
+WS.CFG (new fields)
