I'm going to go ahead and post this here instead of the "official" Spinneret section as I've been seeing threads pop up recently with questions which the Spinneret would make a good solution.

I'd appeciate review and comments on the current version of this document. It is still in "raw" form and hasn't had a good pass through editing, but the material itself feels solid.

Currently it contains the following:

Understanding Internet Network Requirements as pertaining to Spinneret.
Howto Configuration of BASIC Spinneret webserver software (Mike G Software)
Basic configuration of "port forwarding" with common routers.
Addendum #1: Using Spinneret with DynDNS services
Addendum #2: How to use PROPbasic with the Spinneret
Addendum #3: Email notification from the Spinneret
Addendum #4: Controlling "Real world" I/O from a Spinneret webpage.

Thanks!
OBC

    Looks good so far.

    I would note that the IP addresses you mention are IPV4 and that is within the scope of your document. Much of the world uses IPV6 for hosts these days. Does Spinneret support IPV6? If not you should mention it.

    @jazzed: While I'm sure the chip itself supports it, the software used here was all IPV4, so I haven't found the opportunity to mention it.. *yet* :)

    Thanks!

    OBC, you might want to point folks to the Google repository for code. The repository has the latest bug fixes and it contains an HTML tutorial that has sample code.
    http://code.google.com/p/spinneret-web-server/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2FMultiSocketServer_MikeG

    I'll add a reference to the Google repository on the agave site.

    Jeff,
    Great Document! Now I just need the spinnernet!
    Page 13 of your doc near the bottom " go to my SPAM folder" should probably read "going to my SPAM folder"

    This document is an excellent idea. My two penn'orth: page 6 says "Download and extract test.html to the microSD card". Could that be expanded to describe how the file is transferred to the card?

    edit: On thinking about it, that seems like a daft question: the answer would be to remove the card, put it in a PC and transfer the file. Still, it might be nice to have a few words on the formatting options, eg whether it's safe to use subdirectories.
