Hi folks!

I now this questions does not belong to freebsd, but since i run it,
this list is the closer i get to have my doubt kicked!

I am planning a web based system to help monitor my boxes! Since it will
be designed to be used by web browsers i would have to install a web
server on every box i would like to set. THAT'S NOT AN OPTION.

My ideia is to write a single tools that will listen to an arbitrary
port and will accept http requests and write the output to the user
browser.

Since i will have to known how a form is passed to the web server to
have my small utility written. My questions is: what are the source of
documentation should i seek for ? RFCs ? A kick ass book on UNIX Network
Programming? What you gurus suggest me ?

Thanks a lot for your time and cooperation.

best regards,
Gustavo Rios.
