Envisioning the future of proliferating Internet appliances, Access is planning to address the industry's challenge of effective networking and management by this royalty-free, source-distributed embedded-web-server. This new compact embedded web server enables remote control and access by any unattended embedded devices such as printers, photocopiers, and vending machines anytime. "Internet capabilities are being built into a wide variety of devices to automate payment, stocking, and servicing," stated Joe Leung, president of Access Systems America. "With our new AVE-HTTPD embedded web server technology, now these unattended machines easily can be remotely monitored." AVE-HTTPD is a full-featured, robust embedded web server designed to be employed under demanding 24/7 environments. The source code is provided in ANSI C (language, standard) ANSI C - (American National Standards Institute C) A revision of C, adding function prototypes, structure passing, structure assignment and standardised library functions.

-- HTTP 0.9, HTTP 1.0, HTTP 1.1 persistent connection,
GET/HEAD/POST/PUT, CGI 1.1, JPEG, GIF, and Java applets.
-- FORM data accessible from user CGI scripts.
-- Access control and basic authentication for multiple clients.
-- Remote device accessing, monitoring, updating and controlling
from user applications; APIs for operations including server
boot, shut down, and status check.
-- Open APIs for high system expandability.
-- Win32, ROM, and FAT (ATA) file systems support.
Developers can develop custom applications for the AVE-HTTPD server with the PC-based AVE-TCP software development kit. AVE-TCP, Access' TCP/IP networking module for embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. , has been employed in hundreds of designs over the past 13 years because of its reliability and performance. The AVE-HTTPD server comes with sample driver source code, test programs and documentation. The AVE-HTTPD embedded web server module is available with AVE-TCP SDK version 3.1. The license is royalty free and is delivered in source code for easy user modification. Developers should contact Access for a free Windows demo package. Access Co.
