Http URL aliases and other Web servers

[rseiler]

If, for example, one is required to use a port other than 80 (and even if not, really, but especially if so), is there some trick to create a custom URL like this:
http://search

Instead of:
http://YourPCName:81

A related question pertains to this old thread, which I didn't want to bump. Is that suggesting that if you already have a Web server that it's possible to point it at Everything? If so, point at what, exactly? In other words, disable Everything's server and use the other server instead. If that's possible, then I know those other servers would be able to handle aliases.

I don't know of a way to create an alias with a port. You can use your hosts to create a local alias for the host name.

You would need to refer to the Everything by its remote host and port address with your other web server.

In other words, disable Everything's server and use the other server instead.

Currently the Everything web server must be running to either serve web pages or the results as a JSON object.

I've added to my things to do list: Create an Everything CGI using IPC. This would allow you to use your existing web server without using the Everything web server.
