Web Server Implementation Details (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
The web server provides a convenient way of retrieving files and offers extensive scripting options for creating dynamic web content for a Windows Embedded Compact-based device.
The web server implements a subset of the HTTP/1.0 protocol and allows connections to be maintained through keepalive functionality. The web server provides file downloads, multiple virtual paths, and simultaneous connections. Additional components can be included to add support for authentication, Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) extensions, ISAPI filters, and Active Server Pages (ASP). The Httpd.dll dynamic-link library (DLL) contains the web server. At startup, Services.exe loads the web server.
