Devwex is a minimalistic modular web server. Servers instances support HTTP for physical and virtual hosts, IP/Port sharing, directory indexing, filtering, modules, SSL/TLS and DCGI/CGI1.1 in the default installation. Optional SSI and telnet remote administration modules are included, and integration of additional protocols and other modules is available via the APIs Implementation in pure Java for the command line provides for compatibility with a multitude of operating systems, as long as an appropriate Java Runtime Environment is available.

Features

* CGI - Devwex supports the Common Gateway Interface specification 1.1 including PHP, Perl, Phyton and more.
* DCGI - DCGI has been especially developed for Devwex. DCGI is derived from CGI 1.1 and supplies the Webserver with an open interface to different programming languages such as Java, VB, VB(A) and more.
* Directory Index - System directories are automatically accessible as navigable HTML documents. Templates for this service can be individually designed for all physical and virtual hosts.
* Filtering - Accesses to physical and virtual hosts can be controlled by individually defined rules.
* HTTP - Based on specifications for HTTP 1.0 Devwex supports GET, POST, HEAD, PUT and DELETE. Further methods can be provided by additional modules and by DCGI or CGI. A response supports server status 200, 201, 300, 302, 304, 400, 401, 403, 404, 405, 406, 408, 411, 413, 424, 500, 501 and 503. This can be modified or expanded by provided interfaces.
* IP/Port Sharing - Due to the global declaration of virtual hosts in the configuration file all virtual hosts can be used by all physical hosts, which make the virtual hosts available to different IP addresses and ports.
* Modules Functionalities of the server can be changed, enlarged and added also newly by modular architecture.
* Multithreading - Devwex supports the configuration of multiple independent physical and virtual hosts. Furthermore applicable is the inheritance of specific host configurations.
* Remote Control - Devwex allows a free configurable remote access for state requests, restart and stop commands.
* SSL - For secure data transfers Devwex supports Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS). The certificate assignment can be handled for every physical host, in groups by inheritance or globally.
* Virtual Hosts - Devwex supports virtual hosts for IP/Port sharing.
