The HTTP Web Server 1.0.0.1

http://i42.tinypic.com/qsl3k6.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/e8n9mp.png

The HTTP Web Server is an easy-to-use, FAST web hosting server that is written in C#.

It has a built-in Install/Uninstall menu and is console based.

Features:

Ability to define the Server Root Path, Document Root Path, Listening Port, Admin Email Address, and the Directory Index Filenames.

Full install menu that installs to one of two locations, either the server running directory or the directory “C:\The HTTP Web Server”.

Uninstall option uninstalls and removes all files in the folders.

Install has two folders, “conf”, and “htdocs”.

The “conf” folder has two files, httpd.conf, which is the main config file, and mime.type, which configures what file types, can be viewed in the browser.

The “htdocs” folder has “index.html”, which is a template web page. This folder is where you will put all the files you are hosting with your site.

This web server is in the very early stages of development and is currently very basic. This is where I need your help as a developer to help add features that are not currently available. I ask as you make changes that you please fully comment every change and section of code to promote easier code readability. Thanks!
