NAME

wdrender - parse and render WebDyne pages

SYNOPSIS

wdrender [OPTIONS] FILE

Description

The wdrender command displays the HTML that would be generated from a psp page using the WebDyne perl module.

By default wdrender will use the internal WebDyne handler when building the output, but can optionally use other WebDyne modules (such as WebDyne::Chain ) by using the --handler option..

Options

  • -h, --help

    Show brief help message.

  • --handler

    Use a different WebDyne handler module. Currently the only other handler module available is WebDyne::Chain .

  • --status

    Specify the status.

  • --header

    Include headers in the output.

  • --error

    Specify the error format (default: text).

  • --headers_out | --header_out

    Specify headers to include in the output.

  • --headers_in | --header_in

    Specify headers to include in the input.

  • --outfile

    Specify the output file.

  • --repeat | --r | --num | --n

    Specify the number of times to repeat the rendering.

  • --loop

    Enable looping. Used for leak testing.

  • --man

    Display the full manual.

  • --version

    Display the script version and exit.

Examples

# Show the HTML rendered version of time.psp
wdrender time.psp

# Show the HTML rendered version of time.psp with headers
wdrender --header time.psp

# Show the HTML rendered version of time.psp chaining with the WebDyne::Session module
WebDyneChain=WebDyne::Session wdrender --header --handler WebDyne::Chain time.psp

Notes

The wdrender command will attempt to build the HTML as faithfully as possible from the command line environment, but may not be able to exactly duplicate the HTML generated under a real Web Server. As an example if a psp page takes advantge of the Apache request handler when generating HTML, the wdrender commend will not be able to duplicate that environment.
