A W S - Ada Web Sever
October 9th, 2000.
Dmitriy Anisimkov and I are happy to announce the availability of the
AWS 0.9 release.
AWS stand for Ada Web Server. It is not a real Web Server like Apache. It is
an HTTP component to embedded in any application. AWS is fully developed in
Ada with GNAT.
This new version has a lot of changes:
- some bugs have been fixed (as always!)
- server upload is now implemented (see documentation).
- server can send status 301 (Moved Permanently) with proper redirection.
- GET/FORM and upload parameters are handled more efficiently.
- and again, improve the documentation.
At this stage we feel that AWS is ready to build small to medium Web
server. AWS has been reported to work under Windows NT, Linux and FreeBSD 4.1.
With this new version you'll need latest version of the Socket binding
(version 0.1.9 from ENST).
You can download AWS and the Sockets binding for Win32 directly from:
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pascal.obry/contrib.html
An online version of the documentation can be found at
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pascal.obry/aws.html.
The OpenSSL libraries distributed are for Windows GNAT 3.13. GNAT 3.12 users
must build the libraries from sources or obtain Win32 binaries from
http://vagul.tripod.com/libssl.zip.
Under UNIX you'll have to build the libraries from sources, it is quite easy
to do so.
See documentation for build information.
