teapot's Issues

Help building/Installing/Using

Can somebody (or anybody reading this comment) explain how to use and setup a teapot server and client? I've tried to run the code inside this repo in various ways with tclkit, and there is a ton of missing things (licensing files) or missing compilation steps (when compiling tclparser, I had to link to the tbcload directory for a file there). It started complaining of missing tcllib stuff (running with a tclkit as all the app entries need it) but I think it needs an older tcllib version- Newest version seems to be missing files teapot needs like fileutil::magic::mimetype.

Is there any documentation describing how to build this? I feel like I'm just compiling things because its uncompiled, I have zero idea what I need to be doing. Even if I somehow got it working, I wouldnt know how to use it- No documentation seems to exist on how to run a teapot server either!

Help?
