hi!
I would like to ask if anyone here had already tried to use the open source
GoAhead Web Server using assabet and eCos?  What was your experience in
building the application ?  How was the support for GoAhead ?  How did it
perform ?  

Thanks in advance...

We have run this server, but it was many years ago.  I've not
tried it recently, but that older version ran fine.

I played with it a few months ago. It seemed rather slow, but i never
spent the time to work out why. 

I also had problems with GoAheads built in ROM file system when used
with Lynx. Lynx added a leading /. I don't remember which, but it
caused the ROM filesystem to fail to find the file. This worked OK for
Nutscape.

we had tried goahead v2.14 and it worked okay for us. we had used IE/NETSCAPE 
and wget sometimes more than one instances of each at same time. though not on 
assabet. we also made changes in goahead (also posted on goahead news server) to 
make it use eCos ROMFS rather than goahead's WebROMFS.

All,
Is goAhead webserver part of any package in the ecos
repository?
Does anyone have a step by step procedure to include
this on a system running ecos.
Thanks,
B singh

It's already ported on eCos. You just need to edit the Makefile for your
environment to link with eCos lib.

I integrated the GoAhead web server back when it was version 2.1 on an MBX
development board and it worked out fine.  I didn't get into optimizing the
code.

I also wrote an article about the integration process of the GoAhead
WebServer and eCos for the November issue of Doctor Dobb's Journal.  You can
find it here:

http://www.ddj.com/articles/2002/0211/

Hope this helps,

Anthony

What is the output from this compile of the goahead web server - is it a
webs.exe file as a stand alone app?

If I wanted to integrate it into my app do I just use the libwebs.a file and
include it in my link?

I guess I would need to then take the steps that are taken in ecos/main.c to
make sure the web server is initialized, right?

Thanks.

That should work.

I am developing on Windows NT4 for the MBX860 platform.  I am in the process
of compiling the goahead web server.  I am finding that I need to make quite
a few changes, which seems to contradict previous messages posted to this
board.

I was wondering if someone has compiled in the goahead web server and
documented the changes they needed to make in order to get it working on
their system.

Thanks.

I did have to make some patches for version 2.1 against the latest eCos.
With these [attached] patches, it runs fine on the MBX.
