Functionality

This web server design needs to include the following capabilities

  • Support for static web pages
  • Support for dynamic pages including:
    o Support for Server Side Includes (SSI)
    o Support for CGI

Limitations

The current version of the webserver stack has the following limitations.

  • Supports only GET method
  • No support for query strings
    o Future development is planned to enable this only on CGI fileClass.
  • No custom error pages
    o Error messages like 500, 404 etc. will be proper but without page contents.
  • Only one filesystem will be supported at a time
    o Current example uses localfilesystem. This can be easily replaced with an SD card based FS. But this has not been tested.
  • Only one network interface will be supported at a time
  • SSI strings in file read block boundaries will result in undefined behavior.
    o This will be addressed in future releases.
