Thanks in advance.
What do you need this "embedded web server" to do?
I'm going to assume it is not a general server, but to sever up a some
application specific pages in a secure environment. If so take a look on
wiki.tcl.tk, there are a couple of very small light weight servers there
(there is also a very small one that comes with TclHttpd). The more you add
(i.e. complex things you want to do), the more you want something like one
of the big boys (TclHttpd, etc).

Yes, precisely. What I'm not sure about is the exact number of clients
I can expect to connect, but I think it's in the hundreds at most, so
I'm not too concerned about the load on the server. It'll basically be
extracting data from the application and serving it up to browsers for
display.
I've been to the wiki and have seen what's available. I was just
wondering if anyone had first hand experience and could make a
recommendation. I think for now I'm going to have a closer look at
TclHttpd and proceed from there.
The Wiki itself is run via Wub - be sure to have a look at that as
well.

Hi Arjen!
Wub is no good. It requires Tcl 8.6 and I have to use 8.5. Same thing
with Wibble.
I think, for your case, TclHttpd is the best choice. It works with
8.5, plus, it is well documented.

Ah, yes, that is indeed a constraint.
