OSR5 FAQ
How do I access online docs from a browser?
Point your browser at port 457, and ask for document dochome.html. For example, if your server is server.foo.com, use the URL http://server.foo.com:457/dochome.html
You don't have access to the search tools this way, but you can simulate that with the following cgi-bin script.
#!/bin/sh
# @(#) nftpsearch - wrapper for simple form access to scohelp search engine
# call without QUERY_STRING set html form, with QUERY_STRING for search
# relies on single Form search field called query
#
# Install as: /var/scohttp/cgi-bin/nftsearch.sh on OSR5.0.[024] systems.
# Access via: URL:<http://localhost:457/cgi-bin/nftsearch.sh> (any browser)
if [ -z "$QUERY_STRING" ] ; then
HELP_SVR="http://localhost:457" # YOUR HELP SERVER system
SCRIPT="$HELP_SVR/cgi-bin/nftsearch.sh" # cgi-bin path of this script
