Stunnix Advanced WEB Server description
|
An application designed for putting any site to CD, DVD or USB
Stunnix Advanced Web Server for CDROM and USB media is designed for putting any site that uses any of most popular programming languages and databases to CDROM or USB, and has it working directly from that media.
Any site that uses Perl, mod_perl, PHP (php4 and php5), Tomcat (Java), Python (mod_python) for scripting and Firebird, MySQL or SQLite databases can run off of a CD with the use of Stunnix Advanced Web Server. The CD, once put into the tray, will run the web server itself, MySQL, or a Firebird database server and PHP, Perl, Python, and Java interpreters directly from the CD and will open a browser window with the site in it.
To access the site from the CD you just have to open; it is not neccesary to have an Internet connection or to go through a installation process.
An unique technology to work around firewalls on Windows is supported - HTTP over named pipes. In this mode, Stunnix Advanced Web Server listens and web browser operate with each other using Named Pipes, that makes them unnoticed and unaffected by firewalls.
Here are some key features of "Stunnix Advanced WEB Server":
· Uses Apache codebase; it's concept and configuration file-compatible with most famous web server - Apache.
· Includes a state of the art CDBuilder tool for true point-and-click configuration of all properties and building ISO images of the CD or DVD.
· Pages served by all engines (Tomcat, ASP, ASP.NET) appear on the same port as the main web server, allowing easy integration with other parts of the web site.
· Has a special debugging mode in which special tools for the inspection of the web server's state and database files are enabled for a the site and are opened upon startup of the produced CD.
· User doesn't have to install anything on his or her computer.
· Supports ALL of the most popular and useful features expected from a very powerful web server (plain CGI, PATH_INFO, Keep-Alive, SSI, GET/POST with any request sizes, and partial downloads).
· Unlike other products, all scripting engines are always present in the memory, resulting in the instant execution of the scripts due to mod_php, mod_python, and mod_perl.
· Supports encoded PHP scripts on all platforms.
· Extremely flexible in its configuration due to its support for Apache web server configuration files.
· Cross-platform support for the stopping of the server and the releasing of the media.
· Has hooks to start additional programs upon startup of the web site; browserless mode is supported.
· TCP ports to be used are not hardcoded, but are determined at runtime instead.
· Different products created with Stunnix Advanced Web Server can be run at the same time on the same computer by the same user without any conflicts.
· Extending the product further and adding new functionality is very easy.
· Hints about the operating system that your site is run on are provided to website scripts.
