This month, 11 years ago I began working on a web server called "The NetworkDLS HTTP Server". The basic idea was to copy the functionality of a little-known web server of the time written by a company called iMatix – their product name was "Xitami". I liked this little server - it was clunky, riddled with holes and could be "hacked" by any elementary school kid with a working knowledge of batch files – but its weaknesses aside – it was my first web server and worked very well over my dial-up connection (anyone remember FreeWWWEB?).
Back to my point!
Along-side the release of one the shining products of NetworkDLS (the long-awaited "Fortitude HTTP Server" for windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 2008 Server x64) – I am releasing the oldest stable version of the server software here, far, far, away from the business end of the NetworkDLS home page.
For you emboldened few, I present to you: NetworkDLS HTTP Server 1.0.0.2
Please enjoy, and feel free to play with this antique server off-line! It was a modeled after Xitami after all...
