NAME

nodoze - prepares websites built using Microsoft Windows for unix servers

SYNOPSIS

nodoze directory...

ARGUMENTS

directory... is a list of directories or files. All the files within every directory in the list are processed by nodoze.

DESCRIPTION

When websites are built on on computers running Microsoft Windows, the case of file and directory names is often ignored. Other "widowsizms" are also introduced (such as ending files with .htm instead of .html). This causes BIG problems if the site is served under unix.

nodoze is a "quick and dirty" Perl program to repair these websites so that they will work properly on a unix server.

What nodoze Changes

• ".htm" extensions in file names and in Relative URLs are changed to ".html"
  <img src="document.htm"> becomes <img src="document.html">
   
• All files are renamed to lower case. All Relative URLs are changed to lower case
  <img src="http:/Images/my.JPG"> becomes <img src="http:/images/my.jpg">
   
• "Dangerous" characters in URLs are escaped
  <img src="a space.jpg"> becomes <img src="a%20space.jpg">
   
• "\" characters in URLs become "/"
  <img src="http:\\www.server.com"> becomes <img src="http://www.server.com">
   
• URLs are quoted
  <img src=picture.jpg> becomes <img src="picture.jpg">
  
• Javascript: URLs are not changed by nodoze (i.e. the above doesn't apply to them)
  

Relative URLs (a.k.a Local URLs)

• In a Relative URL the server is not named
  <img src="http:/Local.JPG"> becomes <img src="http:/local.jpg">
   
• An Absolute URL is a mailto:, or a javascript:, or names a server
  example: <img src="http://www.server.com/absolute.jpg">
   

REQUIRES

Perl 5, Config, FileHandle
