[Pettinato, Jim]

John,

There is a raw API based web server in one of the contrib modules - it
was done by Adam originally - that provides a simple mechanism to embed
html and gif files to be served in ROM (actually a PERL script to
convert them to 'C' source). I have modified it to be able to handle
files in ROM or FLASH (so the server can be updated via FTP) and also
added a simple server-side 'fill in the blanks' macro mechanism.

Future plans include enhancing this to provide form support for
configuration,etc. but not there yet.

If you search the archives of this mailing list, you can probably find
one or two emails from me that include source for this updated version;
I am sorry but I don't have the time to dig it out and repost it here
now.

- Jim

Thanks Kieran, I will take a look at lighttpd.

I guess I should have been more specific.
I did mean preferably one that had been ported to lwIP, but no need for
this as I want to design my own anyway.

I am using the raw API because a nice simple s/w i/f is what I need for
the intended embedded target. I don't see the need to use another layer
of socket buffering when we only have limited RAM/ROM/processing
resources.

FYI, until our h/w is ready, I have ported lwIP to Win32 (DevCPP +
mingw) using the latest winpcap as the network driver such that I can
bypass the Microsoft stack to test lwIP with our own SNMP, telnet, HTTP
etc on top.

Thanks again for the help and a superb stack.

John
