Requirements
This is a cross-platform package implemented in plain R.
This package depends on the packages R.oo [1] and R.utils.
Note that no webserver is required to process RSP documents.Installation
To install this package, do install.packages("R.rsp").To get started
To get started, see:
rsp() - To compiles any RSP-embedded document.browseRsp() - Luanches a locally running RSP website powered by an internal web server and RSP-embedded HTML pages. From this page you access not only help pages and demos on how to use RSP, but also other package RSP pages.
Wishlist
Here is a list of features that would be useful, but which I have
too little time to add myself. Contributions are appreciated.
- Extract the HTTP daemon part of this package and create
a standalone package named R.httpd or similar. It should
provide a method to register simple modules, such as an
RSP module. The R.rsp package should then only be a
simple module.
- Write "plugins" to common web servers, e.g. modules to
the Apache webserver.
- Add support for multiple default files; needs Tcl coding.
- Create a root ServletRequest class to support not only
HTTP requests, but also other types of request, e.g.
FileRequest etc. This requires some thinking of
user cases and design.
If you consider implement some of the above, make sure it is not
already implemented by downloading the latest "devel" version!License
