ICS servers will handle hundreds of simultaneous clients using a single thread. Using simultaneous threads does make the server more complicated. > 2.

Two issues here. Presumably you expect to run this server on a Quad Xeon or better, so you do need multiple processes or threads to make use of multiple processors. But the web application does not necessarily need to use threads, you can offload the real XML processing into a separate application, or more than one, and use Windows messages or a socket to pass the posted parameters and inform the web server when the XML is ready to return. When developing the web application, you could combine this into a separate application for testing, and then split them when you need more performance. > 3. Do you have more demos for http servers? There are two, OverbyteIcsWebServ is a simple server, OverbyteIcsWebAppServer is more advanced adding session concepts. > 4. Does anyone who has built a working http server with ICS has any > advise? I have a SQL based web application, you can see the ICS versions and traffic statistics here: http://www.telecom-tariffs.co.uk/serverinfo.htm This only uses a single thread, despite the SQL requests being blocking and taking up to a second, they simply get queued if the server is busy.
