OCaml application-level Internet libraries - documentation and examples

Ocamlnet is a collection of OCaml libraries focusing focus on application-level Internet protocols and conventions.

Ocamlnet consists of the following libraries:

 * netstring: processing of strings that occur in network context
 * netcgi2: portable web applications
 * nethttpd: is a web server component (HTTP server implementation)
 * netplex: generic server framework
 * rpc: OncRPC implementation
 * netclient: clients for HTTP, FTP, and Telnet
 * equeue: event queue used for many protocol implementations
 * shell: external commands invocation
 * netshm: shared memory for IPC purposes
 * netsys: bindings for system functions
 * smtp and pop: two further client implementations

A number of ideas and concepts are used throughout the libraries:

 * netchannels are a way to abstract sequential I/O channels
 * event queues provided by equeue and unixqueue make asynchronous
   protocol interpreters possible

This package contains the Ocamlnet reference manual in HTML format and several examples about how to use the various libraries.
