Appweb

While some time ago, embedded system have been isolated and self-contained, nowadays most embedded web applications are relying on the Internet to communicate with each other and the developers coordinating them. Since they use the Internet as a means of communication, it goes without saying that they would be easier to manage via a web server.

Appweb is a compact and comprehensive web server that was specially designed to provide a secure hosting environment for embedded web apps. Moreover, it packs numerous features that can help your team cut don on the time and costs associated with software development.

The utility also includes the Apache-style configuration, full HTTP/1.1 support and the ESP web framework, which can provide you with useful templates, scaffold generator as well as a model-view-controller paradigm. While it is true that the program comes with additional tools  - Action Handler, a Common Gateway Interface and a PHP Framework – ESP has consistently provided the fastest results without compromising on quality.

Considering that the program addresses advanced users, it is slightly more tricky to configure and have it running. More precisely, in case you want to make any modifications to the default settings, then you should access the configuration file and edit the ports and addresses that you prefer to use or specify the modules that you want to load.

If you are looking for a solution that enables you to implement the HTTP protocol to the dynamic applications you are developing, then perhaps Appweb can lend you a hand.
