[the DtTvB]

This is my new web server, I don't know what should be its name, so here is it: the DtTvB's AutoIt Web Server.

Current Features:

• Folder Index (index.html, etc.)
• Configurable Document Root (default is public_html)
• Customizable Error Page
• MIME Choosing (for each file type)
• Access Log
• File Indexing (showing the list of file when index file is not found) [done by Spyrorocks]
• Preprocessor (yay it's finished, you can now run AutoIt script in it to make some services) [done by Spyrorocks]
• File chunking, so it takes not so much RAM. [done by piccaso]
• Header Processing [svn]
• Configuration in a seperate file [svn]

To-Do and Ideas..

• Output Compressing (using Zlib)
• POST method support
• etc, etc, etc.

Demo Site: http://dttvb.yi.org:27643/

The program may have bugs, if you found runtime-errors, please report! Please include the error message, file, and line number where it caused the error, and be sure to check the feature list first!

Steal Get the code from the SVN.

Scroll down to get the release.

In SVN, the code is at the latest revision, but the code may be unstable.

The code is at http://opensvn.csie.org/DtTvBs_httpd/

If you don't know how to obtain the code from it, I have some guide..

• First, download TortoiseSVN
• Install it.
• Open Windows Explorer.
• Create a folder somewhere.
• Get in to that folder.
• Right click the blank space, and click SVN Checkout
• A checkout dialog appears.
• Change the URL of the repository.
• Press OK.
• You will see the progress dialog.
• Wait until it finishes.
• Press OK.
• Go back to your folder.
• Arragh!! The code is there! It must be magic!!

Note that when you edit the code, the ! sign shows over the file you modified. This is normal, so you don't have to worry.

Test Page is down.

Can't test right now. I'm on Fedora.

Looks good though!

[the DtTvB]

I forgot to turn it up, stupid me.

It's up now. Thank you for telling, D-Generation X!

[NELyon]

Looks good then.

Is there a limit to the number of incoming connections?

[the DtTvB]

It is configurable, the default is ten.

Test Page is down.

Can't test right now. I'm on Fedora.

Looks good though!

I'm on Fedora now, too! Yay! lol

this looks really good. I wanna make my own now. lol

nice job, the test pages look great, I will explore it in detail tomorrow.

[theguy0000]

Why not use port 80 as the default? And allow the user to change it from there

[the DtTvB]

Because port 80 of my computer is Apache.

[the DtTvB]

Uhh, do you mean a Linux dist Fedora Core?

If so, I use Ubuntu and LinuxTLE, and I am able to run AutoIt on it.

[Pakku]

I just love this!

Thanks, i will learn alot of it!

EDIT: take a look at this: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=34094

[the DtTvB]

Yeah, I took a look at it already, what's with it?

And ahh, nothing new since the last post of that topic is still mine! :S!

Learn more about HTTP at HTTP Made Really Easy

[Pakku]

well, maybe you can put it in the webserver as a standaard

*Off Topic*]

the DtTvB, Do you know where you can download WINE?

I run Ubuntu too, but rarely.

[the DtTvB]

I think it would be really superhard to comply with the standard. It has too much rules, I think.

D-Generation X: Here's for Ubuntu and here's for Fedora.

Edited November 25, 2006 by the DtTvB

[NELyon]

Thanks

And BTW: Great Server. Do you think this would run from WINE?

[the DtTvB]

I don't exactly know. But I think it should.

I ran Firefox 2.0 for Windows on Linux and it perfectly works, and I saw people using Office 2003 on Linux, strange isn't it?

The next thing to do is... processing headers...

It should process the following:

• QUERY_STRING (This is an env variable, not header!)
• REMOTE_ADDR
• SCRIPT_NAME
• SERVER_SOFTWARE (very easy one!)
• SERVER_NAME (like host)
• SERVER_PROTOCOL (just set it to HTTP/1.1 and it's finished, blah!)
• SERVER_PORT
• Content-Length (hard one!)
• Cookie
• Host
• User-Agent

And then make it accept POST requests...

POST request is tricky one, I think.

for me, i have to insert my IP address assigned by my router..

[theguy0000]

Hmm, If I were you, I would take out lines 67 and 68 and replace them with this

$url = StringRegExpReplace ($requestSplitted[1], "(?i)get\s+(\S+)\s+http/\d.\d", "\1")

That should give you a URL, and a bit more compatibility.

[the DtTvB]

Thanks, theguy0000, for contributing! ^^;

This is my new web server, I don't know what should be its name, so here is it: the DtTvB's AutoIt Web Server.

maybe Ahttpd ?

this is the best autoit based webserver i have seen!

This program is still under development, so please contribute if you can!

i'll try

i added better handling for large files, and some little changes i don't remember (see comments)

did you ever try to serve off a 700 mb file off your server?

it loads it all into memory before sending it out

edit: *Snip*, save space..

of course the server is busy serving a large file so it cant handle other requests.

so i tryed to write a load balancer, but i didnt finish it yet.

A really nice piece of code, and nice page design too
