What is a .WN file?

A .WN file is a type of document used by a specific web server called WN. This web server is special because it helps keep certain files on the internet more secure and controls who can see or access them. The .WN file contains details about other files that the server is sharing online. These could be web pages (like those written in HTML), pictures, or any other type of file that you might find on the internet. The purpose of a .WN file is to organize and describe the content that is available in a particular directory on the server. This means it acts like a table of contents, telling the server what files are there and how they should be handled or shown to people who visit the website.

Once a .WN file is set up, it is then turned into another file called "index.cache." This new file is very important because it acts like a gatekeeper. It sits on the server and when someone asks to see a file (like when you click on a link to a webpage), it checks the request and decides if it should allow access to the file through the internet using HTTP requests, which is a common way computers talk to each other to share web pages.

To open or work with a .WN file, you would use the WN program itself. This is because the .WN file is designed specifically for use with the WN web server, so it has the right tools to create, edit, and manage these files properly. Other programs might not understand how to handle the specific details and instructions contained in a .WN file, making WN the best choice for working with these documents.
