The `infinity` program

infinity is a small program meant to be executed as a CGI. It will write a HTML page from the Book of Infinity.

Interface

infinity can be run as is, but should be spawned by a Web server as a CGI program.

infinity computes a HTML page from the value of $PATH_INFO and only $PATH_INFO. The pages contains links to other pages, all involving the execution of infinity.
infinity writes that page to stdout, with a <meta> tag telling crawler robots not to index that page or follow the links.
Well-behaved robots will follow the instructions and stop immediately. Bad-behaved robots will ignore the instructions, follow the links, and lose themselves in forever exploration of the Book.

Before installing the Book of Infinity on your server, make sure you have sufficient horsepower and bandwith to stand the heavy traffic generated by your preys. The client must be killed, not the server. I have redesigned infinity so it's as efficient as possible, but that cannot reduce network traffic.
