Hi, I have spent the last couple of weeks working on this web server project. The aim of this project is to create a free web server that could replace Microsoft's IIS from a technical aspect. Another aim is to implement the http protocol as good as possible according to the standards. It is entirely written in managed code and fully multi-threaded. Download Things that work...- Basic features of a web server
- GET and POST parameters
- Cookies
- Module/Extension architecture
- Etilic Active Server Pages (see below)
... and things that don't- Directory configurations (e.g. directory indexes, custom error documents, access options, etc.)
- The management console has not yet been finished
FutureOnce the current features have been completed and work as expected, additional features and especially modules will be implemented as needed. Management Console Although yet unfinished, the management console can later be used to configure and observe the web server. Etilic Active Server PagesUnfortunately the php libraries cannot be used in managed code without the need of big wrappers. A modern web server, however, needs the ability to serve dynamic content. Etilic Active Server Pages do that; they serve content, generated by .NET assemblies. This means, that you can use a variety of programming languages for your web services, such as Managed C++, C#, VB, IronPython, etc. How to: Create an Etilic Active Server Page How to install EtilicDownload the .zip archive from our server and extract it to the directory you wish to use as root directory for the server. Once all files are extracted, execute "install.bat" in the root directory. An installer will automatically configure the server for you. If you wish to change some of the settings, however, go to "{root}\cfg\Etilic.xml". LicenseYou may not sell or reproduce the product, all rights belong to Origin Software (http://www.originsc.com). Any modifications to the program are forbidden. If it blows up your machine, it's your own fault. Thank you for reading my post. I would be glad to hear some feedback from you, especially regarding the performance, bugs, etc. but also if you have any questions. Michael

That looks like a really hard piece of work, you have done here. What is your motivation to create a new webserver system?
Always learn from history, to be sure you make the same mistakes again...

Thanks. I think one could say this application and XAMPP are similiar, but it's not exactly the same though (in my opinion at least). XAMPP is Apache for Windows with PHP and MySql. Etilic doesn't come with an SQL server like MySql (although you can, of course, use any sql server with it). It is the name of the web server itself and not of the software package. The difference between Etilic and other servers, however, is that you can add anything you could imagine to it. You can download a whitepaper of Etilic's architecture from our server if you want to learn more about it.

Technically you could plug in whatever you want. MySql, FTP, E-Mail servers... it's up to you. The core application (Etilic Core) handles the connections on various ports bound to various ip addresses (abstracted as virtual servers). Each virtual server has its own set of modules (an http module for instance) and those modules have their own sets of extensions (a web server, for instance, could have extensions for: python, php, c#, etc.).
Whether or not your virtual server is exposed to other systems is entirely up to you. If you bind the server to 127.0.0.1, you can access it from the local machine only. If you bind it to the network ip of your machine, other computers in the network can access it as well.

Developed a small SQLite server as module for Etilic. SQLite Admin 1 SQLite Admin 2 The screenshots show an EASP application, which uses the SQLite server, running on the latest Etilic version. The API is quite simple to use (in C#):
SqliteConnection connection = new SqliteConnection("127.0.0.1", 3306, "user", "password");
connection.SelectDatabase("db");
XmlDocument result = connection.ExecuteQuery("SELECT * FROM table");
// have fun with the result...
