Branch of Another Project
These projects are branches of other people software.
To facilitate navigating in this list, projects are categorized by their purpose, authorship, and current state. Each project entry lists the categories it pertains to. Clicking on a category name will bring a listing of all projects in that category.
Additionally, a list of related projects is provided where applicable. Each element in that list is a link to the corresponding project entry.
Clicking on a project's name will bring this project's entry as a separate page (a permalink).
Hovering your mouse over the version information of a project shows the list of changes introduced by that version.
Sort controls below allow you to order the list either lexicographically or by the most recent release date, in both directions.
Using the Search control, you can select projects by name. Shell-style globbing patterns (wildcards) are accepted.

apout
It is a modification of the PDP-11 emulator originally written by Warren Toomey, that allows to run binaries from the earliest UNIX distributions.
extrans
This is a modified versions of Romuald Texier’s eXtrans. It was used as the underlying mechanism for Ellinika and Runasimi at early stages of their development, before switching to xmltools.

* Global "Backend" definitions A "Backend" statement is allowed to appear in global scope. In this case it must be followed by a symbolic name, as in: Backend "name" ... End The "name" must uniquely identify this backend among other backends defined in global scope. Global backend definitions can be used in services using the "UseBackend" statement: UseBackend "name" A single globally defined backend can be used in multiple services. Its actual global definition may appear before as well as after the service or services it is used in. A named form of Backend statement is also allowed for use in Service sections. In this case it acts as "UseBackend" statement, except that statements between "Backend" and "End" modify the parameters of the backend for use in this particular service. Only two statements are allowed in such named form: "Priority" and "Disabled". The following example attaches the globally defined backend "assets" to the service and modifies its priority: Backend "assets" Priority 8 End * Response header modification The "Rewrite" statement accepts optional argument specifying whether it applies to the incoming request, or to the response. The following statement applies to requests and is exactly equivalent to "Rewrite" without argument: Rewrite request ... End In contrast, the following statement: Rewrite response ... End applies to the response (received from the regular backend or generated by error backend). In this form, the set of statements that can appear inside the section (denoted by ellipsis above) is limited to the following: "Not", "Match", "Header", "StringMatch", "SetHeader", and "DeleteHeader". For example: Rewrite response Match Header "Content-Type: text/(.*)" End SetHeader "X-Text-Type: $1" End The same applies to "Else" branches. * Basic authentication New request matching statement "BasicAuth" is implemented. Its syntax is: BasicAuth "FILE" It evaluates to true, if the incoming request contains Authorization header with scheme "Basic", such that user name and password obtained from it match a line in the given disk file. FILE must be a plain-text file created with htpasswd(1) or similar utility, i.e. each non-empty line of it must contain username and password hash separated by a colon. Password hash can be one of: . Password in plain text. . Hash created by the system crypt(3) function. . Password hashed using SHA1 algorithm and encoded in base64. This hash must be prefixed by {SHA} . Apache-style "APR1" hash. Combined with the response rewriting described above, this can be used to implement basic HTTP authentication in Pound as shown in the following example: Service "auth" Not BasicAuth "/etc/pound/htpass" Rewrite response SetHeader "WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Restricted access\"" End Error 401 End Unless the file name starts with a slash, it is taken relative to the "IncludeDir" directory. The file is cached in the memory on the first authorization attempt, so that further authorizations do not result in disk i/o operations. It will be rescanned if Pound notices that the file's modification time has changed. * Bugfixes ** The Host statement assumes exact match by default. ** Fix detection of duplicate Transfer-Encoding headers.
Pound is a reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTPS front-end for Web servers. It was developed to enable distributing load among several Web-servers and to allow for a convenient SSL wrapper for those Web servers that do not offer it natively.
Pound was originally developed by Robert Segall at Apsis GmbH. I took over its development when Robert announced that he abandons it.
