# Description
Seanox Devwex is a experimental server engine with a modular architecture for
(web)servers and applications, which can be used with a appropriate Java runtime
environment on many operating systems. The included server instances support
HTTP with virtual hosting, filters, modules, SSL/TLS, XCGI/CGI1.1, director
listing, templates and a Telnet-base remote control the server engine.
Additional servers, modules and applications can be integrated via the available
APIs.
__The size of the Devwex binary is limited to a maximum of 30kB. There is no
technical reason for this, it is rather the more than 20 years old quirk and fun
question -- Why are web servers so big? This should make some unconventional
decisions in the project easier to understand :-)__
# Features
- __Modular Architecture__
The experimental server engine supports a modular architecture for
(web)servers and applications that are integrated via the server and module
API provided. The own class loader supports the loading and unloading of
servers and modules at the runtime. In addition, cascaded constructors for
servers and modules are supported. Along with classic inheritance,
constructors can be chained, which enables the insertion of additional class
loaders, for example.
- __Central Configuration__
The configuration is based on a central file in an extended INI format, which
is divided into sections with keys and values, supports multiple inheritance
in the sections, dynamic values and access to system and environment
variables.
- __Web Server Implementation / Hypertext Transfer Protocol__
Already included is a web server implementation with the following features:
Virtual hosting, filters, HTTP modules, TLS/SSL, basic as well as digest
access authentication, XCGI/(Fast)CGI1.1, directory listing, templates with
support for CGI environment variables and more. In accordance with
specification HTTP 1.0, GET, POST and HEAD as well OPTIONS, PUT and DELETE are
supported by HTTP 1.1 and other methods can be provided via HTTP modules
(XAPI+), XCGI and (Fast)CGI.
- __Remote Control__
The included remote access supports a telnet-based control of the server
engine (restart and stop) and queries about the operating status of running
servers and modules. It includes a server and a client component.
- __Extensibility and Customization__
The modular architecture and many interfaces (SAPI, XAPI, XAPI+, (Fast)CGI,
XCGI) allow the modification, extension and addition of functionalities.
