RmoreUrl-1.0.2 is a free opensource Macintosh MRJ based server/UNIX C
commandline client combo whose only purpose is to pass URLs from a
UNIX/Linux box to Internet Config (and thus to your Mac based browser,
ftp client, email client, etc.).

Instructions for configuring emacs VM and emacs Gnus to allow a single
UNIX URL click to cause you Mac to access the same URL may be found at
.

This is probably only useful for you if you frequently run MacOS and
UNIX behind a firewall/NAT server, you frequently want to view/use
URLs from your mac which are located on your UNIX box, or you have
access to both OS's displays at your work area.

Source code is available from .

WARNING

Do not use the RmoreUrlServer program on a Macintosh directly
reachable from the internet (not behind a firewall or NAT server). The
simple protocol used the the RmoreUrlServer is not safe to internet
connected machines not behind a firewall. It would be easy for an
attacker to download files or send you browser to any webpage if you
are not protected. This means your Macintosh should behind a firewall
and the port you specify in your RmoreUrlServer should be
protected/filtered. If you don't know what this means ask someone at
your site/ISP.
