This is a modified BSD traceroute command which outputs customized HTML
and can be used as a cgi program directly.
The advantage of using a compiled C program directly instead of a shell,
tcl or perl scipt:
More Secure (tastes better) - There is no possibility that strange
characters or environment passed to the CGI program can be used to break
into the server, etc.
Less Overhead (less filling) - The whole CGI program runs as one very
small process instead of multiple script processes and/or a large perl
program which must be interpreted each time it is run.
You can customise the HTML presented, by creating the template file
"template.html", and entering it's full path when prompted. Insert the
text "TRACEROUTE-OUTPUT" into your template file at the point where you
require the traceroute results displayed. This makes web-traceroute
integrate seamlessly with existing website layouts.
