[imp] another wvHtml question

[Tom Ryan]

Absolutely, though I must preface all of this that its written in perl. 
(though would probably take 2 minutes to rewrite in php :)

I've put imager.cgi (the imaging "program" up at 
http://camlaw.rutgers.edu/~tomryan/imager.txt)

You will obviously need to change it to where your mime.types file is 
stored, where your wmftopng program is stored, where your bmptoppm and 
ppmtogif programs are stored, where the temp directory for horde is 
located. (Sorry, none of these are configurable, I wrote very quickly and 
very lazily :)

I also modifed the code to wvhtml to a better src= line.

You need to modify wvWare.c (around line 595) and change the src= to read 
something like (this was on wvhtml 0.7.0)

... src=\"/path/to/where/you/put/imager.cgi?file=%s\">...

and also change lines 1197 and 1202 to also make use of the same change 
above.

then, recompile and voila, you have working image support in wvhtml.

I used to have a shell wrapper around wvhtml that would use sed to replace 
and fix up src as necessary, but I found that I needed my wrapper to time 
out wvhtml and exit if necessary (and I could get sed to work reliably 
under that).

Since I use a special version of the binary just for my webmail, it works 
great. (people have even complimented on how nice it is to get attached 
graphics :)
