Hi,

With samples\net\httpserver.js I thought I would able to view the output with http://localhost:50001 in a browser.

I got caught with trying this under Windows Xp:

G:\LaTeXPortable\LatexUtils\glue\bin>glue /keepRunning ..\samples\net\httpserver.js
glue.log.level = warning
File not found: G:\LaTeXPortable\LatexUtils\glue\bin\keepRunning

Even though the help says use /keepRunning you seem to need to do this to even get the command line help..

glue --help

But it displays switches being preceded not by -- but /

usage: glue OPTIONS

glue is a JavaScript interpreter based on the SpiderMonkey engine.

/contextSize=size sets the context size of the JavaScript
interpreter.
/branchlimit=limit sets the branchlimit of the JavaScript interpreter.
/runtimesize=size sets the runtime size of the JavaScript
interpreter.
/encoding=value sets the encoding of the script file.
/loglevel=level sets the level of the logger.
/logchannel=channel sets the channel of the logger.
/registerService Register the application as a service.
/unregisterService Unregister the application as a service.
/displayName=name Specify a display name for the service (only with
/registerService).
/startup=automatic|manual Specify the startup mode for the service (only with
/registerService).
/help displays help information on command line
arguments.
/version shows the version of GLUEscript.
/keepRunning Keep running until Ctrl-Break is pressed.

But you really actually have to use -- instead of the / forward slash normally expected on windows.

So...

glue /keepRunning ..\samples\net\httpserver.js

Does not work, but ...

glue --keepRunning ..\samples\net\httpserver.js

Is the correct thing, and works really well in the browser, and the server is stopped by Crtl C

Thanks,

Paul
