Baby ASP Web Server

Baby Web Server is an easy-to-operate multi-threaded web server that features native support for the ASP server-side script engine. Created with the purpose to offer web developers a viable alternative to IIS, it can simulate the functionality of ASP technology.

Managing the server is easy, thanks to the user-friendly, simplistic interface of the application, which logs all the performed actions in real time and enables you to configure the connections.

The server is started by default on port 80, but you can modify this setting using the designated section of Baby Web Server. Your only mandatory task is to set the directory path where the ASP web pages are located and modify the default HTML or ASP page that is displayed in the client browser. If this page is not found, the server retrieves the directory listing.

Other configuration options allow you to enable page output buffering, which means that the webpage is not displayed in the client browser until all the scripts on the current page are executed.

Also, you can activate or disable the session state functions, which means that the server automatically stops if no action is performed within a user-defined time interval (by default, this is set to 10 minutes).

In addition to this, Baby Web Server can generate a complete statistical report on the number of total, current and simultaneous connections, the successful and the failed requests, along with the the total time since the server is up and running.

Baby Web Server can work in multiple instances, features cookie and SSI support and allows you to set up its configuration via the command console. It is a reliable tool for those who work with ASP code, even though this technology is superseded by ASP.NET.
