Webtool Foilset Web Servers or HyperText Transfer Protocol Daemons -- HTTPD
This material on World Wide Web Servers was prepared by Wojtek Furmanski for
the Spring 1995 Syracuse Course CPS600 on "Technologies for WebWindows".
HTTP Protocol is described elsewhere and here we describe the relatively
simple daemons (HTTP daemons) which are core of a Web Server. Note key
additional functionality is provided by CGI mechanism descibed elsewhere
which allows further PERL programs to be used to enhance Server functionality.
We describe in great detail the set up of the NCSA HTTP daemon with functionality
of the various directories and configuration files. Other servers are also reviewed
including the parallel Web server implemented on the nCUBE.
