Potential Web Applications:

Develop forum software that allows visitors to share information

Create internet applications generating streaming audio/video media

Add a web interface to ANY existing application that needs to be monitored/controlled

Construct a Web portal or search engine to share any information with the rest of the world

Start with any existing client/server functionality, and publish this information using any HTML template

Provide a configuration and control interface to any hardware product

Easily build Intranet applications for any internal function

Sample Projects:

Web Forum Web Forum, written by Dart's Technical Support staff, provides a message forum that incorporates email, technical articles and search capabilities

Web Server A secure Web Server that can be configured to listen on any port

Cookie Test Shows how to check for client-side cookie support, and how to set/read cookies on the client

Web FAQ Shows how a simple DAO database can be interactively edited and used to display dynamic content

IIS Comparison

Application object is superceded with your global variables

ObjectContext object is superceded with direct access to MTS

Server object is superceded with direct access to the environment

Request object is replaced with Dart's improved Request Object

Certificate Object provides more help determining the attributes of the client certificate

PUT and GET requests are routinely handled by a convenient DartStream Object

Full file support for "multipart/form-data" sent as part of a POST request

Cookies Object provides parsing support for cookie values and sub-values

Form data is parsed and presented as a collection of HttpVariable Objects

Response object is replaced with Dart's improved Response Object

Response Object is pre-filled with the default response

Convenient DartStream Object makes it easy to respond with strings or files

Enumerated Status property simplifies use, and pre-fills StatusText with default values

Header is exposed as a collections, and default values are automatically used unless overridden by your code

Session object is replaced with Dart's improved Session Object

SessionInit and SessionEnd events support initialization and termination

Session cookies automatically manage sessions

HttpVariables Object supports use of any Variant for state management

Benefits & Features:

The features of IIS on a single web server control

Re-use your existing client/server code

A single application can be developed for both global and local use

Content can be constructed right in memory

Secure connections are fully supported

Applications can run on multiple ports

Easily install and run your web app as an NT Server

Complete support for managing cookies

Easily manage files and buffers w/ Dart Stream Object

File uploads are AUTOMATICALLY supported, so you don't need add-ins like FileUp.

Apply the robust power of Visual Basic or any other development environment to the development of your web applications

Listen on ANY port/address combination, so you can host multiple web applications on a single server

Default operation is with requested web pages automatically sent unless you over-ride the default operation in the Get Event.

Events fire as each GET, HEAD, POST, PUT or general request arrives...you just add processing code to the events you want to respond to.

Deploy FAST applications by building responses in memory (bypass slow disk access).

Deployment is a snap: just compile and build a normal distribution, install the compiled web application on your server, and optionally install it as a service

Debugging is easy. You can easily set breakpoints within your application and exercise it from your workstation using any browser

All events fire on a single thread for maximum throughput for light-to-medium loading

For high loading, MTS and multi-threaded classes can be used for constructing lengthy responses on dedicated threads, allowing the main thread to freely operate

Responses can be constructed entirely in memory, providing the fastest possible response times (single-threaded operation is fasted for light-to-medium loading)

Multiple applications can be written and installed on separate address/port pairs, so large applications can be easily partitioned to run as any number of individual tasks, all on dedicated threads.

Provide a configuration and control interface to any hardware product

Version 1.6 of WebServer for ActiveX allows any application to be turned into a Web Services provider. It enables any application to act as a SOAP server and respond to incoming SOAP requests without relying on IIS or another large Web Server implementation. The WebServer Control's Request and Response objects are fully compatible with Microsoft's SOAP objects that are available with the Microsoft SOAP Toolkit, allowing portable SOAP solutions to be created in Visual Basic, Visual C++, PowerBuilder, and Delphi.
