| 3 | <UL>This lib is intended to add webserver functionality to programs instead of using an external webserver.<BR> | ||
| 4 | Two examples for embedded webservers that i know of are simple (shoutcast (i guess), and webTV (teletext as a webpage (from pinnacle)); and many others probably do the same. | ||

| 8 | <UL>This is mainly developed for developers to make it easier to write a web interface to their software, (note a webbrowser is commonly available in most operating | ||
| 9 | systems) so it is like a portable "terminal" that can be accessed from any computer (with a browser of course...).</UL> | ||

| 12 | <UL>For example, imagine that you are developing a daemon and want to check stats or re-configure at run-time; | ||
| 13 | with this library you can add a listen port for runtime, and connect with whatever browser (via HTML interface) | ||
| 14 | without dependencies of an external webserver.<BR> | ||
| 15 | You can even do a webserver (of course), just use your imagination.<BR> | ||
| 16 | Another quite simple example, a sound recorder (using only local connections for security reasons) uses a web interface to control | ||
| 17 | /dev/dsp reading/writing (via HTML interface). | ||
| 18 | there are many other things you can do ...</UL> | ||

| 21 | <A name=server_scripts><B><font color='000077'>Is there support for server scripts such as .php .cgi .asp?</font></B> | ||
| 22 | <UL> Well, this library only provides web server functions that make a server running, server scripts can be supported if you want to do it: | ||
| 23 | you can develop a handler for type ".something" or whatever, this package provides a .cgi handler as an example, (use at your own risk or make it better).</UL> | ||
