- Abstract
- TinyWeb 1.93.1 is a small, configuration free web server for Windows, based on TinyWeb Server by RITLABS S.R.L., version 1.93.
- I enhanced TinyWeb with two featurelets: command line options and primitive content negotiation.
- Operating systems/languages
- Windows.
Usage
For basic features and documentation, refer to the TinyWeb homepage at RITLABS. I will only describe the changes I made to the original 1.93 version.
- Command line options
- I included the treatment of command line options.
- Usage: tiny.exe -r RootDirectory [OPTIONS].
The parameters are:-r RootDirectoryspecifies the WWW root (previously that was the first parameter)-a addressbind to address-p portbind to given port--stoptry to stop another instance that was run from the same directory--helpdisplay command line options-cdisable content negotiation feature-l languageset default language (en, de, …)
- Content negotiation
- I implemented a very primitive form of content negotiation suitable for language alternatives of HTML files.
- That means, when you request http://localhost/index.html and you have two files, one called index.html.en and one index.html.de, TinyWeb will deliver the one that matches the language selected in the browser — if it exists.
- If it doesn't exist, it will fetch the resource with the default language suffix.
- If index.html itself exists, content negotiation does not take place.
Why I did this? Well, I was planning to include multi-language support in dSite and thus I needed a small, configuration free web server that can handle such requests.
Credits
I must thank RITLABS S.R.L. for providing such a small configuration free and still feature-rich web server application.
