readme

this gives details of the network programming

Client Pull example (written in perl).

The page to load is "sample.html". This page has 
a number of inline frames (using the I.E. IFRAME tag).
This won't work with Netscape ! (it doesn't support iframes).

Each frame is set to get content from the CGI program, this
program sends back a fictional stock quote (uses a random number generator 
to make the quotes change).

Files:

sample.html  web page that includes the frames. Each iframe requests
a document from the CGI program.

ticker.cgi   perl CGI program that sends back stock quotes and includes
an HTTP-EQUIV meta tag to tell the browser that the content of the 
frame should be refreshed after 5 seconds.
