TinyWeb

TinyWeb is a small (executable file size is less than 100K), simple (no configuration other than through the command line) and fast (consumes a minimum of system resources) Win32 web-server daemon. This program is not GPLed, but free for commercial and non-commercial use.

TinyWeb is bundled with TWikiForWindowsPersonal, a TWikiFor distribution for personal use on Windows. For this, PeterThoeny had to fix some bugs and make a small enhancement. The enhanced tinyweb.zip 1.94 package (with source) is attached to this topic (and sent back upstream). Changes:

• Proper handling of PATH_INFO environment variable
• Proper handling of SCRIPT_NAME environment variable
• Added short how-to help in dialog box if started without arguments
• Added command line parameters to specify cgi extension and cgi interpreter (to avoid dependency on Windows registry)

Discussion

I love the TWikiForWindowsPersonal package. I have one little quirk with tinyweb.exe that I'm wrestling with. I would like to make my tinyweb server available to my coworkers, but my IP address is dynamically assigned. In the un-customized version of tinyweb, the IP address command line argument is optional (causing TWiki to listen to all available IP addresses). Is there a way to get this behavior from your customized version? My only other option would be to write a kludge to the start.bat file file to detect the current IP addresses of the machine (which seems kind of ugly).

I've commented on a similar request at TWikiForWindowsPersonal.
