AR (ooh, I can see potential for confusion here) has a built-in web server with a few interesting bits & pieces - see <A HREF="http://abandoned.org:4448/">http://abandoned.org:4448/</A> (also <A HREF="http://abandoned.org:4448/cl">http://abandoned.org:4448/cl</A> for the changelog - that main page hasn't been updated in ages) Quick summary of what's there: - mo n mo stats (connected users, average players/hour, general mud stats, ...) - help system access - message board read access (though it's broken atm) - basic authentication to enable access to admin commands: reboot, shutdown, various world-building-related search systems, etc - access to the changelog There's also a recent addition that allows player to edit strings via a browser & submit to the mud directly - considerably nicer than using a line-based editor (I'm not familiar with the details of this, haven't actively worked on the code for some time). There was support for a Java applet that did basically the same thing via a separate protocol (and hence had to be served from the mud server itself), but I had a lot of problems writing an editor applet that would actually work on a range of browsers. Java UI tweaking is not one of my strengths. ...
