GUI Stuff:

INFOBAR = [0..5]

Controls the appearance of the windows' infobars. The value means:<NOBR>

   
  0: no infobar drawn at all

   
  1: only AES infobar (traditional GEM)

   
  2: only output to the hslider area

   
  3: both methods above

   
  4: application widget infobar, no realtime resizing

                               possible

   
  5: both AES and application widget infobar.

   
</NOBR>

   The default setting is 4.

Font Setting:

The value for ALL font variables is the index number of the VDI. There are four necessary values for each of the font variables, these are plain, italic, bold and bold italic. The default values are 5031, 5032, 5033, 5034 (Baskerville Speedo font).

   NORMAL,        BOLD_NORMAL,

   ITALIC_NORMAL, BOLD_ITALIC_NORMAL

This is the font that the normal text will be displayed with.

   HEADER,        BOLD_HEADER,

   ITALIC_HEADER, BOLD_ITALIC_HEADER

The font that headers will be displayed with.

   TELETYPE,       BOLD_TELETYPE,

   ITALIC_TELETYPE,BOLD_ITALIC_TELETYPE

Font used for <PRE> and <TT> tags as

   well as for plain text files.

FONT_SIZE

Defines the base font size in points for normal font height (as of <FONT SIZE="3">). Usefull values are 10..14.

FONT_MINSIZE

Set the minimum height in points that a font should have at least, eg. for <FONT SIZE="1"> tags. </DL>  

Parser/Renderer:

DFLT_BACKGND = <colour>

Sets the default background colour for pages that have none defined. The

   value can either be a decimal number 0..255 to use the VDI colour

   map, a hexadecimal number of the form 0xRRGGBB as a direct colour

   value or a text as used in HTML.  The three examples below mean all the same

   colour:

   
   DFLT_BACKGND = 8

   
   DFLT_BACKGND = 0xC0C0C0

   
   DFLT_BACKGND = silver

FORCE_FRAMECTRL = [0|1]

If set to a non-zero value, the attributes NORESIZE and

   SCROLLING of frames and framesets are ignored.  Also setting

   frame borders to zero will be prevented.  This makes some mal-designed

   pages more useable.

   This setting can be changed at runtime in the <A href="c-MB.htm#Optn"

   >Menu Options</A>.

NO_IMAGE = [0|1]

If set to a non-zero value, images won't be displayed but the text from

   their ALT attribute will be used instead (if given).

   This setting can be changed at runtime in the <A href="c-MB.htm#Optn"

   >Menu Options</A>.

START_PAGE = <URL>

Defines what HTML file shall be displayed at startup.

 

Cache Control:

CACHEDIR = <absolute path>

To allow HighWire to save visited pages for later revisites it is necessary

   to define a directory for storage.  This might be something like:

   
   CACHEDIR = C:\TMP\

   
   CACHEDIR = D:\HIGHWIRE\CACHE.DIR\

   
   CACHEDIR = U:\ram\

   
Note:  The last example might need plenty of ram!

CACHEDSK = <kilobytes> [<num files>]

Set the maximum usage of disk space for storing cache files and optionally

   the maximum number of files to use.  Examples:

   
   CACHEDSK = 8192      

       # use 8MB disk space

   
   CACHEDSK = 4096 300  

       # use 4MB disk space, but not more than in 300 files

   
If not set here HighWire will use only a sparingly maximum of 2MB

   space andd 200 files.

CACHEMEM = <kilobytes>

Sets the maximum amout in kilobytes for images cached in memory. This

   value affects only these images which aren't used anymore (default is 100k).

 

Connection Control:

TIMEOUT_CONNECT = n

Number of seconds Highwire shall wait for a connection to get established.

   After this time a connection try will be seen as timed out.  The default

   value is one second.

RETRY_HEADER = n

Definines how often HighWire tries to load a page or some other data. The

   default value is three times.

TIMEOUT_HEADER = txt [, gfx]

- TO BE ADDED -

COOKIES = [0|1]

The general Cookie handling policy can be set either to allow

   <nobr>(= 1)</nobr> or to disallow <nobr>(= 0)</nobr>.  The

   default is to disallow cookies.

   This setting can be changed at runtime in the <A href="c-MB.htm#Optn"

   >Menu Options</A>.

RESTRICT_HOST = <flags> <host or domain>

Instructs HighWire to refrain from certain HTTP actions to a particular

   server or a whole domain.  If the second parameter starts with a dot

   (".") it will be interpreted as a domain otherwise it's assumed to

   be as fully qualified host name.  Note that there must never be a "http://"

   befor the host name!

   The first argument <flags> defines the type(s) of action(s).

   There are two flags available:

   
   C:  </A>don't accept cookies from this

       server or domain nor send any back

   
   I:  </A>don't load images from this

       server or domain

   
Flags may be combined and this variable can be used multiple times for

   several hosts or domains.  Here are some examples:

   
   RESTRICT_HOST = C  .mindshare.de

              # no cookies from this doamin

   
   RESTRICT_HOST = I  adserver2.mindshare.de

         # no images from this server

   
   RESTRICT_HOST = CI .doubleclick.net

              # neither images nor cookies allowed

HTTP_PROXY = <proxy-ip> <port>

Defines a proxy server and its port for web access.

 

Debugging:

LOCAL_WEB = <absolute path>

- TO BE ADDED -

LOGGING = [0|1]

If set to a non-zero value, HighWire will spit lots of debug messages to

   stdout.

   Note:  If you haven't installed any console window (T-Con,

   TosWin2, ...) this will lead to several text lines written over the screen.

   This setting can be changed at runtime in the <A href="c-MB.htm#Optn"

   >Menu Options</A>.
