For example,

When I tried this via a CGI program, namazu complains that namazu.cgi
should be used. However, namazu.cgi does not give me what I want, so
I did the following hack to keep namazu from complaining:
...
my $uri = undef;
my @cmd = ($namazu_prg, '+message-id:'.$id, '-l', $index);
local(*NMZ);
my $child_pid = open(NMZ, '-|');
if (!$child_pid) {
# child process
# reset envariables to keep namazu from complaining
local(%ENV) = ( );
$ENV{'PATH'} = $bin_search_path;
select(STDERR); $| = 1;
select(STDOUT); $| = 1;
open(STDERR, '>&STDOUT');
exec(@cmd);
}
# parent process
local $_;
while (<NMZ>) {
chomp;
next unless /\S/;
$uri = $_ if /^\//;
}
if (!close(NMZ)) {
warn qq/Non-zero exit status from "@cmd": $! $?\n/;
}
...
Now, I can get the full pathname of an archived message with reading
the NMZ.* files myself (thanks goto Makoto).
I still parse the .namazurc file inorder to get the URL version of
the file (by using the Replace directives). Reason: The CGI program
will actually serve up the message file itself, but when it encounters
the <head> tag, it adds a <base href> tag so the relative links of
the message file will work properly.
The goal of the CGI is to allow for a "permanent" bookmark to an
archived message. A problem with MHonArc's message number system is
that if archive is rebuilt from raw messages, but some raw messages have
been deleted and/or are in different order, the message numbering will
be different. This is a problem for people you reference archived
messages in their mail.
My CGI program is an attempt to fix the problem. For each archive page,
I plan to add a "[Bookmark Link]" anchor. This anchor is to be used
for bookmarking an archived message or to provide a persistent link to
the message.
The CGI and "[Bookmark Link]" anchor layout will be added in a future
release of the mharc archiving system.
