SRE-http V. 1.3A Released!

Daniel Hellerstein just uploads on Hobbes SRE-http V. 1.3A: A free http/1.1 WWW Server for OS/2, and the archive is srev13a.ZIP, 1.23Mb.


SRE-http is the backbone of a highly configurable http/1.1 compliant web server for OS/2. With advanced features such as remote configuration, virtual hosts, caching and SSI; SRE-http is powerful enough for technically proficient administrators, but simple enough to be maintained by non-technical users. In addition, the Rexx based GoServe API (as augmented by SRE-http's
numerous extensions) offers significant development advantages when creating web based applications, and when otherwise crafting a customized and enhanced web site.


SRE-http ver 1.3A supports the usual http/1.1 web server functions, such as:
- Support for multiple hosts (multiple IP addresses and virtual hosts)
- Support for range-retrieval
- POST, PUT and DELETE http methods are supported.
- Support for GZIP transfer-encoding (both sending and recieving)
- NSCA and CERN server-side imagemaps
- URL redirection
- default documents for directories
- common-log auditing
- CGI-BIN compatability
- digest authentication

In addition, SRE-http ver 1.3A incorporates a number of special features, including:
- NCSA HTTPD style server side includes are fully supported
- Documents with server side includes can be "intelligently" cached
- Support for the HTACCESS method of access control
- Support for a "selector-specific" method of access control
- Easily specified client and browser specific customization
- Local and remote (http) virtual directories can be specified and accessed
- Client-side and server-side content negotiation
- Several possible directory specific default documents can be specified
- ... or, "cachable" directory listings can be created
- A simple message box facility is built-in to the server
- ISINDEX-stype searchable indices (on text files) can be readily created
- File upload using FORMS (as supported by Netscape 2.01)
- Load balancing across several servers
- Fully configurable using "on-line" (web accessible) tools

A number of "addons" for SRE-http are also available;

Note: SRE-http does not currently support secure sockets.
