These are basic instructions to do a simple test on localhost/loopback without the need of having to know other remote Six/Four peers or trusted servers.

0) Choose your plattform by editing the toplevel Makefile.

1) Type 'make'. Then type 'make install'. All you need is: - working gcc, make - openssl, libpthread installed.

2) To do a simple test on localhost: go to bin/64TP. Launch ./TrustedPeer, which will be listening on loopback.

3) With TrustedPeer running, go to bin/64test. Connect to your TP directly by typing: "c 127.0.0.42". (In a real scenario, you link to intermediate clervers not to the TP directly). Now type "C" to see the active link(s).

4) You can now download something (TestClient was built for HTTP): "dl 127.0.0.42 80 www.altavista.com /index.html ./index.html". This should instruct your TP to download the index page from altavista.com, and send it to your TestClient, which saves it to ./index.html. You'll notice the HTTP header is not cut off - TestClient is just a demo and has no application protocol parsing.
