Subject: RCF ROOT file access via http Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 17:49:53 -0500 From: Torre WenausYou can now access (small!) ROOT files at RCF via the www.star.bnl.gov server (sol), thanks to the Apache module that Fons Rademakers wrote. eg. root4star > TWebFile f("http://www.star.bnl.gov/~wenaus/muons_100_ctb.root") will open (readonly) the file ~wenaus/WWW/muons_100_ctb.root Note that the available file access is the same as for other web server operations; paths known to the web server can be accessed, not the whole file system. Do not use it for big files as httpd is not very efficient. It is eg. a convenient way of 'publishing' histogram results. More info is at http://root.cern.ch/root/WebFile.html The Apache server is running stably on sol, is integrated into the startup, and should be a reasonably stable and permanent facility. - Torre -- Torre Wenaus, BNL wenaus@bnl.gov 516-344-4755 Fax 516-344-4206 -- -- STAR Experiment, RHIC@BNL Computing and software project leader -- -- B. 510A Room 1-175 http://www.rhic.bnl.gov/STAR/computing.html -- -- http://www.wenaus.com/torre.html --
