You will find httpd on the disk dw4_extras.dsk which is included in
the DriveWire distribution zip file, so chances are it is in the
directory you run DW4 from.  You can also download this disk from the
DW4 download page:  https://sites.google.com/site/drivewire4/download

On this disk, in the directory HTTPD, you will find the source code
(httpd.b09), the executable (httpd) and an example inetd.conf.

To "install" httpd, copy the executable to your CMDS directory and
edit inetd.conf to contain a line similar to the one in the example.
If you'd like the web server to run on port 6309 instead of 80, use a
line like:

6309,runb,httpd

You will likely also want to create a directory "/DD/WWWROOT".  This
is where the default page will be loaded from.  There is an example
WWWROOT directory on the same dw4_extras disk as httpd.

Once httpd is installed and inetd has been restarted with the new
config, you can browse to http://127.0.0.1 (or http://127.0.0.1:6309
if you use that port) on the computer running DW4 to see the
index.html from /DD/WWWROOT.  You can also open any path on your OS9
system by specifying it in the URL, for instance http://127.0.0.1/DD/
or http://127.0.0.1/DD/CMDS etc.

You would set up the port forward in your router to point to the
computer DW4 is running on.
