81. introduction
9
10 zylyx is a multiple purpose http url locator, which is able to find files
11 that would be otherwise lost. it tries to find files within the caches of
12 http proxies that are no longer existent on their original location. to
13 do this it spawns a number of subprocesses which each connect to a proxy
14 server and try to retrieve the original url. if the proxy doesn't have
15 the file it fails, else the subprocess returns the file location.

182. requirements for compilation
19
20 you need:
21
22 - a ansi conform c compiler (gcc/egcs) -> www.gnu.org
23 - installed posix thread library (libpthread) -> www.freshmeat.net
24 - installed s-lang library (libslang) -> www.s-lang.org
25
26 after installing these, just run
27
28 cd src
29 make
30
31 if you still don't get it compiled, this program wasn't intended for you
32 to use.

34
353. usage
36
37 to use this program you need a list of public http proxy servers, if you
38 don't have one, you may want to get some from the web. (hint: you may
39 easily find some if you enter like "public http proxy :3128 :8080" into
40 good searching engines like google.com).
41 you may want to validate the list before you start using it, by using
42 proxy scanners (like "numby", another fine release from teso).
43
44 the proxy list has to be named "proxy-list" and has to be in your
45 current working directory as you start zylyx. the format of the proxy
46 list is very simple, i even think carolyn meinel is able to use it:
47
48 <host|ip>:<port>
49
50 mhh... no, she cannot use it.
51
52 now, after prepared the fine list (or just use the included one), try it
53 by surfing to one of this lame mp3 chart pages, with this broken links.
54 choose a popular one, and copy the exact url of the broken link. then
55 run:
56
57 ./zylyx <url>
58
59 enjoy the show of the dots ;-).
