In the old days (literally, last year), installing a web server on Window$ WAS a big deal. But not anymore. ... download the latest
Cameron,
I am using a very capable Pentium based PC running Win2k (a very incapable OS... enough said) and so your suggestion of installing a server is something I could do. I looked at the site you suggested but after a quick review, I found that there is a major problem with ZoneAlarm, something I use and like, and I therefore decided not to install that server.
Could you please elaborate? I'm sure there are plenty of people running web servers and Zone Alarm together, and I can't figure out what your problem might be. If you run a web server, you have to leave some port (usually 80) open, but I'm also sure you can set Zone Alarm to ignore that port. You can also set up your server so that it will only run as localhost, so no one else can get into it.
I am only about a third of the way through Lincoln Stein's book
"Network Programming with Perl" when I realized that I can write a
simple server, in Perl, that will suit my purposes.
Great! But, what does this do that Apache doesn't in terms of your Zone Alarm problem? You've still got port 80 open, don't you?
Note: If you can do everything you want this way and don't have to install Apache or some other web server, that's fine. I installed Apache on my personal machines (localhost access only) mainly because I wanted to simulate exactly anything I do on the department server I run.
Randal Schwartz also wrote a perl-based web server that he discussed in a Web Techniques column, which you might want to take a look at, if only because it's AWTDI. http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/WebTechniques/col56.html
