Rebol web servers

Hi Mr.Tyler Booth, Jeff Kreis and Bohdan Lechnowsky ! Have you done a stress test with The "microweb server" or "small web server" ? I had in mind to deploy our applications with another free web server, but it would be nice if everything was in REBOL, code and deployment, how I want it, transparently ( human readable REBOL code) . I would like to serve XML, XHTML and HTML pages in an Intranet situation ( 40-50 users ). Can I add other MIME types? I use FLASH a lot for navigation menus, so I´ll be needing SWF support. Since its written in rebol, one could tailor an install routine accordingly. Any ideas? Please advise ASAP, if this idea is feasible, let me know more about licensing, I´ll speak to my boss about it.

I tested out webserv.r once, and it really cooks. I tried it out with a small web page and banged on it simultaniously with 4 other computers using Netscape running full bore--focus in the address box with the enter key held down. I seen no errors fly by. Although the 10mb network and 450 mhz processor might have helped out a bit. Since it is single threaded, you could goof it up with a slow CGI, or a over large web page under heavy use. But for lean stuff its great. --Ryan [Sharriff--Aina--med-iq--de] wrote:

Howdy, Sharriff: Sorry for the delayed response. The webserver you're referring to went like this. Originally, Tyler and I built a version with the goal of making a working webserver in as few lines as possible. This was 20 lines, if I remember right. Bo, later, reworked the webserver to add REBOL cgi support. So the goal wasn't really robustness, though it looks like Ryan put it through its paces :-). A more robust webserver could be achieved using port multiplexing. A good example of this is Sterling Newton's http proxy script: http://www.rebol.org/web/proxy.r Certainly you could add mime types and all sorts of stuff. There's also (Ingo Hohmann's) YaRWeS (Yet another rebol web server -- did I get that right?) that had a bunch more direct support for mime types and lots of other goodies as does Cal Dixon's REBOL webserver: http://www.rebol.org/web/webserv.html (I can't seem to find Ingo's webserver. It's not on his site or on rebol.org-- maybe it's not released anymore) As far as licensing goes, the script is public domain, and REBOL has it's own EULA (end user license agreement). So, that's my understanding of that stuff. Salutations-- -jeff

I was in the process of rewriting it, but ran short of time, and decided to drop it when I saw REBOL/Apache. Now that REBOL/Apache seems to have vanished, a REBOL webserver could be useful again... ...unfortunately I'm too busy right now...

Hi Andrew! I asked the same question a few weeks ago on the list, why have you kept your webserver secret? :-) Mr. Dixons Server is the most complete at the moment, but reading the code, I have no idea how I would configure it for FTP use ( I would have to bother Mr. Dixon again with that question). When is "Silk" going to be ready? do you have a feature list that I can see? I´m using the XITAMI webserver at the moment (www.IMATIX.com), it´s dead easy to install , multi platform and free, but it´s a little awkard trying to implement or integrate it in my web apllication since I´ll have to have the users install it separately, parse the .CFG file to work with REBOL, install REBOL THEN the Web application. Taking all that into consideration, I thought the best logical thing is to implement or integrate everthing in REBOL. This approach has also the plus point in that since it´s all written in REBOL, I could use it as a framework for other Web apllications in the future; code that I can read and no third party components :-)) Best regards Sharriff Aina med.iq information & quality in healthcare AG "Andrew Martin" An: <[rebol-list--rebol--com]> <[Al--Bri--xtra].

Why don´t you try Cal Dixons Webserver Mr. Chiu? it supports CGI. Sharriff Aina med.iq information & quality in healthcare AG

I've hacked Jeff/Ty/Bo's rebweb.r to handle Rebol scripts as cgi. Works with my test.r script :-) http://203.79.82.38/zwiki/SCripts Bug reports to me pls... -- Graham Chiu

Cool Graham, I´ll try it out soon. Is there a work-around for its inability to FTP? I would like users to load and manipulate files/directorys on the server in a given Intranet situation?
