abyss--短小精湛的跨平台web服务器C源代码

ABYSS Web Server ------------------ About: ------ ABYSS aims to be a fully HTTP/1.1 compliant web server. Its main design goals are speed, low resource usage and portability. ABYSS works on most UNIX based systems and on Win32 systems (Win95/98/2000/NT). Copyright: ---------- Copyright (C) 2000 Moez Mahfoudh. All rights reserved. Status: ------- ABYSS is still in development stage. Actual version is 0.3. Many features are not implemented yet but the server core works well and seems to be stable. It is fully reliable for serving static files on medium load sites. In fact, primary benchmarks show that ABYSS is 70% as fast as Apache when using the fork system. This rate jumps to 130% when using threads. On UNIX platforms, some problems occurred because of the use of the Pthreads library. This will be corrected in the future versions. That's why only the fork system is usable under UNIX. This lowers performances but guarantees stability. CGI/1.1 support is still absent from the current version but will be included in the near future. Change Log: ----------- * Version 0.3 (March 23,2000): o Handles conditional GET requests (by date) o Conforms to all the MUSTs of the RFC2616 (newer version of the HTTP/1.1 protocol draft) o New configuration options (such as pidfile for UNIX systems...) o Handles HEAD and OPTIONS methods o Many bug fixes o Tested on Sun-OS 5.7 o Second public release * Version 0.2 beta (February 7,2000): o Handles GET on static files o Handles correctly range requests o Conforms to 80% of the MUSTs of the RFC2068 (HTTP/1.1 protocol draft) o Improved code portability (Win32 and UNIX platforms) o Tested on Linux 2.2 and Win95/98 o First public release * Version 0.1 (January 2000): o Completely rewritten in C o Speed improvement o New memory allocation scheme (using pools) o Never released * Version 0.0 (January 2000): o Initial version o Written in C++ o Never released Downloading: ------------ * Version 0.3 (current version): o UNIX package (source) abyss-0.3.tar.gz. o Win32 package is not available but you can extract source files from the UNIX package and compile them on Windows without any modification. (Sorry for this inconvenience: I have no Windows machine now to compile the program and to test it. If someone can do that, please email me the zipped package and I'll add it here). * Version 0.2 beta: o UNIX package (source) abyss-0.2b.tar.gz. o Win32 package (source+binary) abyss-0.2b.zip. Installation: ------------- * For UNIX systems: o Untar/Ungzip the distribution package with a command like tar xvfz abyss-x.y.tar.gz o Edit the Makefile src/Makefile to meet your system requirements. o Go to directory src and execute make. o The server binary is generated and stored in the bin directory. o Edit the conf/abyss.conf to reflect your system configuration (At least change the paths). o Goto to the bin directory and start the server by typing ./abyss -c ../conf/abyss.conf * For Win32 systems: o Unzip the distribution package. o An executable file is already present in the bin directory. o If you wish to recompile the server, open the src/abyss.dsw file with Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 or higher and rebuild the project. o Edit the conf/abyss.conf to reflect your system configuration (At least change the paths). o Goto to the bin directory and start the server by typing ./abyss -c ../conf/abyss.conf Configuration: -------------- Edit the conf/abyss.conf file and change the values of the available options. Bugs: ----- Please email bug reports to mmoez@bigfoot.com To do: ------ * CGI/1.1 support * Web based configuration/administration * Speed improvement * File caching system * Throttling * PUT method handling * ...
