Few days ago I got into a problem, there is no embedded web server in damn Windows Vista whatever edition I have installed on my Laptop, I really needed one since couple of ActionScript applications I was making been firing Security Sandbox error, so I needed to solve it somehow. Basically half an hour later I had my own minimalist HTTP Server. Since it doesn't do anything except serving web pages and I don't need anything else, I named it TinyWEB and now giving it for free for everyone.
As you can see from this image it has only three settings:
- Content Folder, - just point it to the location where you have content stored
- Default Page, - to handle issues like when you typing http://localhost/ without specifying file name it will load default file.
- Port - TCP/IP port, where you will address your HTTP requests, if you have already some other web server, you can use some alternate number, for example 88, otherwise just leave it default equal to 80.
After all hit the Start button and it will start serving pages.
If you want to hide the main window into tray icon, just click on little cross [x] button in upper corner, double click on tray icon will restore window back. And to close the application just click Close button.
And to download TinyWEB use this link: http://webservices.skitsanos.com/utils/tinywebsetup.exe
