The Mobile Web Server software is an Open source software port by Nokia of the Apache HTTP Server to the Symbian OS S60 mobile software platform. The S60 Mobile Web Server enables connectivity for HTTP traffic to a mobile device from the Internet.

The Mobile Web Server components include a gateway application that runs on a computer on the Internet and a connector application, that runs on the remote mobile device. The gateway and the connector applications with a valid DNS configuration can provide a mobile device with a global web address (URL).

As of January 2010, the Web Server had been discontinued by Nokia^[2].
