[Memphis.pm] redirecting a localhost web server through cgi

To solve all the mystery, I have written a web server in LPC (Lars Pensche
C) which is an OO language used to run MUDs. Virtual text-based roleplaying
games. I've implemented an in-game POP server, an in-game SMTP server, an
in-game FTP server, and now I'm working on the web bit. However, I cannot
(because of the restraints of the game) put the web files in my /html
directory on the server. So, I have opened my server on port 3015. The
problem is that from my work, I cannot access it. This is because I believe
the firewall is blocking the connection. I thus cannot use the additional
web server idea (which is a cool idea by the way) and because the web pages
are dynamically generated by LPC and my MUD, and because the MUD is rooted
in a different directory than my ~/html, I can't place the pages there.
No, I'm going to try to write the script with CGI and LWP::UserAgent. Thanks
for that suggestion.
I'll either get it working or give up ;)
Incidentally, another thing I will be working on is telnet-like access
through a web browser... I think I will implement some sort of
private/public key sets.... I could tie in ssh's keygen somehow, I bet. ;)
