lighttpd (prescribed pronunciation: "lighty") [2] is an open-source web server optimized for speed-critical environments while remaining standards-compliant, secure and flexible. [ citation needed ] It was originally written by Jan Kneschke as a proof-of-concept of the c10k problem – how to handle 10,000 connections in parallel on one server ...
Web server software allows computers to act as web servers. The first web servers supported only static files, such as HTML (and images), but now they commonly allow embedding of server side applications. Some web application frameworks include simple HTTP servers. For example the Django framework provides runserver, and PHP has a built-in ...
HTTPd is a software program that usually runs in the background, as a process, and plays the role of a server in a client–server model using the HTTP and/or HTTPS network protocol(s). The process waits for the incoming client requests and for each request it answers by replying with requested information, including the sending of the ...
OWIN (Open Web Interface for .NET) is a standard for an interface between .NET Web applications and Web servers. [1] It is a community-owned open-source project. Prior to OWIN, Microsoft's ASP.NET [2] technology was designed on top of IIS, and Web applications could not easily be run on another Web server (although note that despite this the Mono community developed several ASP.NET compatible ...
Enduro/X ASG – Application server for Go.This provides XATMI and XA facilities for Golang. Go application can be built by normal Go executable files which in turn provides stateless services, which can be load balanced, clustered and reloaded on the fly without service interruption by means of administrative work only.
Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) is a free and open source ecosystem modelling software suite, initially started at NOAA by Jeffrey Polovina, but has since primarily been developed at the formerly UBC Fisheries Centre of the University of British Columbia. In 2007, it was named as one of the ten biggest scientific breakthroughs in NOAA's 200-year history.
AOLserver was the first HTTP server program to combine multithreading, a built-in scripting language, and the pooling of persistent database connections. For database-backed Web sites, this enabled performance improvements of 100× compared to the standard practices at the time of CGI scripts that opened fresh database connections on every page ...
