WWW server (CERN httpd)

A CERN provided www server is installed as the WWW server.
As of October 1996, more than 98 percent of the schools have created their home pages and practiced information dispatch.
There are some schools who utilizes the cache capabilities of the CERN httpd for better performance in information retrieval through the WWW browser.

WWW relay server (DeleGate)

At the time of the project start, WWW browsers for client machines were not able to read Japanese in the JIS code or in the EUC.
DeleGate, a relay server, was installed, to translate texts in these codes into texts in the Shift-JIS code.
Today, WWW browsers for clients handle various character codes, and DeleGate is not much of use. In some cases, though, it still is used as a cache server.
