There is a new version of my Ada Web Server on my homepage.

AWS is an all Ada implementation of the HTTP protocol. Well a very small
part
of it right now.

Just to be clear, this is not a Web Server by itself, but a library to embed
a Web Server in an Ada application. With this library it is possible to
makes
any application a Web Server. It is possible to send requests to the
application using a Web browser for example.

What's new ?
   - handle POST method
   - can now send files (like gif images)
   - a lot of minor changes all around :)
   - some code to deal with authentification

Have a look at the runme.adb program. This is a demo with 4 web pages,
a gif image and 2 forms (method GET and POST).

This is still work in progress, it has been tested only under Windows NT
with
GNAT and the Win32 port of the socket library. It has been already reported
that this does not work with the UNIX socket library as the interface is
not the same...

All contributions are welcome, I'll not have the time to do a complete
implementation of HTTP alone :-)

Enjoy,
Pascal.
