README

Boot using normal methods *cough* HBC *cough*. Once running, will run itself.

Quitting

To quit, press home on wiimote 1.
press yellow fret on quitar.
press c on nunchuk connected to wiimote 1.
press home on classic controller.
press A on wiimote 1.

settings for version alpha v1.10 +

In a folder on the root of the sd called data create a folder called wws and make :-

• pass.txt containing your password
  
• port.txt containing the custom port number
  
• wwwo.txt 1 for using /www on root or 0 for /data/web

If the above files aren't found then the following defaults will be used

• pass.txt - all options that require a password are disabled
  
• port.txt - defaults to port 80
  
• wwwo.txt - defaults to the same as 0 which is /data/web

Custom error pages

On the SD, create a folder called "error" in the /data/web folder and create pages called XXX.html where XXX is the error number for the custom page to replace, such as 404 for page not found and 500 for server errors

Directory Listing

There is no directory listing and your homepage must be called "index.html"

USB Storage

Put files on in the same directories as you would on the sd card, i.e in usb://data/web/

If, for example, your file is usb://data/web/index.html, then the link to it is /usb/index.html,
if it is linked to as /index.html, then wii web server will load the index off of the sd card in sd://data/web/index.html

HELP WANTED

I am in need of help in order to advance the wii web server to alpha v1.5 +
A list of things that i need help with are below :

• Fixing undone things in the bugs section
• A decent graphical front-end
• More file type support

How to submit

Because i use windblows, i am unable to use .patch files, so instead, a source file like below should be sent to me at the address listed in the bugs section, or by posting it here. It MUST be in C

/**
