Latest Versions

• Stable - Listens on port 8800
• Experimental - Listens on port 8802

Installation

• You'll need perl 5.004 or newer. If you don't have it, get it from CPAN
• If you don't already have a recent LWP installed, get one from CPAN.
• Mark the httpd-afpp script as executable (chmod +x httpd-afpp)
• Start the proxy, and place it in the background
  • httpd-afpp >>logname&
    (if you want logging)
  • httpd-afpp >/dev/null&
    (if you don't)
• The proxy should continue running forever. If it stops, examine your logs, note your proxy version number, LWP version, and perl version, and report the problem as a bug.
