This message is to announce the availability of a new beta-test version
of the HTTP server implementation (called "HTTPS") for Windows NT.
This software allows a Windows NT machine to serve information using
the World-Wide Web distributed hypermedia system.
HTTPS version 0.3 is an HTTP/1.0 server which runs as a Windows NT
"Service". Executables for Intel-based systems, and DEC Aplha systems,
are available.
HTTPS is not a World-Wide Web client. Existing 16-bit Windows 3.1 clients
run satisfactorily on Windows NT.
The server may be FTP'd from emwac.ed.ac.uk in the directory pub/https.
There are two ZIP files - one for Intel-based systems, one for Alpha-based
systems. Be sure you download the right one for your processor.
You may also wish to download the WAISTOOL toolkit for building and searching
WAIS databases, which can be found in /pub/waistool.
New features in 0.3
===================
* Can now search locally-held WAIS databases (requires WAISTOOLs
for Windows NT, also available from EMWAC).
* HTTP transaction log written to text file
Features
========
* HTTP/1.0 server which understands HEAD and GET methods.
* Runs as a Windows NT "Service", so that it keeps going even
when there's no-one logged in to the machine.
* Available for DEC Alpha and Intel architectures.
* Much faster than the SERWEB server ported from Windows 3.1.
* Multi-threaded!
* Logs errors using the Windows NT Event Logger.
* Configuration through the Control Panel.
* Configuration information stored in Registry.
* Optionally logs HTTP transactions.
This server has been produced as part of the European Microsoft Windows
NT Academic Centre (EMWAC) project. EMWAC has been set up to support
and act as a focus for Windows NT within European academia. It is
sponsored by Datalink Computers, Digital, Microsoft, Research Machines,
Sequent and the University of Edinburgh.
A Gopher server for Windows NT is also available for beta test. A WAIS
server is underway.
