HTTP server, started, need cooworkers.. please read.

I've started an HTTP server in Visual Basic. So far it is able to send a user a pure text html page(no graphics), lets you open any page in any sub dir, shows a 404 error if the page doesn't exist, and lots of other little things.

I'm am very happy with the results but need some help so we can get the thing done. I need 1 or 2 cooworkers to help me with the project.

If you don't know what an HTTP server is, I'll explain.... everytime you go to a website, the computer that holds the website will intersept your call, get some info about your browser, and send you the default page or the page you request. So you put your website in a folder and people from the internet are able to use it :) In a way.

Thanx for your time,

An update, now any file can be sent... pictres, zips... So it's complete exept for directory browsing... You are able to do client side scripting like javascript and vbscript and flash. Nothing serverside exept html itself.

Still need helpers...

I am also thinking about making my own language in it like php for instanse but different. Not as advanced as php tho.

Beta out soon, maybe even tomorrow

Cya'll

It now is able to run php scripts! The are still a few bugs to work out but other then that, it works!

And yet still no response

Php code is now almost complitelly bug free. I rewrote most of it, before I had a one second delay for it to work and do it's thing, now there's no need to do it with the new setup so there's no delay and it works instantly!

Also speed check : same file, after download speed.
Results: Apache web server 62.3 ; Ziouzine HTTP 62.1

That is based on one server so it might not actually be like this but, in this one-trial test, it beat apache!

Hey,

I am interested in how you did or are going to manage cin and cout in VB, I wrote a HTTP server in about 20 hours of work a few weeks ago for a project at work. Then we didn't use it, lol. Anyways, if you want, I can send you my source granted it isn't very good, since the server was going to be deployed as part of an app, running on an odd ball port, It has no support for 404 errors, or 500. Just serves pages, What did you use to return the correct MIME type? An array, or a file, db? what?

Awesome work, I am interested in seeing the finished product.

Hey, I'll help. I'm assuming you're using the Internet Transfer Control, and I have a little experience. Plus It'd be awesome to learn some new stuff. Email at [email protected] or pm me if you need help!
