My Amiga 600 webserver

[TheMagicM]

its fast cause its only 1 image and then text...
what all can you do with it? (capabilities of the server itself)?  I have a A600HD I wouldnt mind running this on.

That's a damn lie.  That A600 isn't even plugged in!

I tried many webservers while I was setting up this one and I must say aws is by far the fastest of the ones I tried. I get 60kB/sec on my A600 and when I tried it on my A4000 (description below I got 720kB/sec ...

I guess the posibilites are endless since it supports cgi-bins and rexx-scripting, but unfortunately I haven't gotten this to work yet.

Then you're not connecting on port 8080, I'm redirecting port 8080 to port 80 on my A600.

*edit*
btw, which browser were you using? None of the browsers I have tried have failed to connect on port 8080, or do you have a firewall or something that prevents you from connecting on that port?

Port 8080, gives me a Page Load Error... ergo nothing...

I am using Firefox... and my Firewall is not the problem...

Strange, it seems to work for everyone else, and I'm using Firefox to the test the page on my PC.

By the way, I updated the site and added a small cgi-bin showing current uptime and available memory.

[BadBigBen]

Works now....

Uptime 15 min and 29 sec....

He He... last check was 18 min before that...

nice though...

lol this is great  :banana: we should ask Wayne to move A.org to a 600 cluster, 50 x A600HD's or something  :laughing:

Maybe you are thinking about gW3S, which is written in ARexx?

[Argus]

Wonder if the same could done with an A500?  No pcmcia port though....bummer.  

[HyAmi]

I was thinking about the same thing too! Is there an "easy" way of connecting something that would enable the Miggy to connect to a standard network? Are there any homebrew solutions that actually work?

Yes yes, that's the one.  Wasn't it called something else before?  I remember it switched to a new open source license, which is kinda amusing since it's Arexx anyway :-)

Awesome! about 4 days uptime!

Its a little miracle . . . compliments :-)

I used AWS when I had my Amiga 3000.  It was fast compared to most.

Great page! Never fails each time I come to visit it.  :-)

That is cool :-D

Patrik was explaining some CGI stuff he was working on which gave me an idea, although I am not sure how feasable it is.

The biggest overhead for something like the A600 as a webserver with CGI is the running lots of executables to handle stuff.

So I had a silly idea that one could create a normal shared library based CGI system where each library has a 'public' API, but privately is implemented to do different webserver tasks, eg form parsing, guestbook etc.

To run one you OpenLibrary() it, call whatever fuctionality you need from it, then CloseLibrary() it.

The OS would keep these libraries in memory until it needed to flush some, so on the whole, accessing them would be much faster than launching executables.

I will try and add more things to it later on, like a script that shows free memory, uptime and similiar but for now this will do.

Sheer coolness.

The first one I'm getting, right the one from the picture. Hopefully that mouse too.  :afro:
