Asynchronous Object Server

Overview

• Everything written in C++ and optimized for performance
• Buildable as 64-bit (A64) or 32-bit (i386) executable
• Built on a multi-threaded, multi-queue execution engine
• Fully functional HTTP/1.1 compliant web server
• content caching
• request pipelining
• keep-alive support
• gzip compressed response
• Fall-thru file lookup design for quick conversion from static prototype to dynamic application
• MVC (model-view-controller) pattern for separation of input processing, business logic and presentation
• Embedded Lua interpreter
• Provided input processors (custom input processors easy to implement)
• HTML forms
• multi-part file upload
• Provided output generators (custom input processors easy to implement)
• XML document
• Templated wih support for embedded Lua scripts
• XSL transform (MSXML 6.0)
• JSON object
• Image generation with GdLib and freetype
• HTTP and HTTPS ports bound to common listener queue which allows an easy switch from secure and non-secure communication using the same session
• Supports SQLite3, MySQL and ODBC databases
• Built-in cookie based session management
• Directory based and file based controllers
• Full web-based administration backend
• Adjustable logged event execution allows admin to trace complete path of every request
• Tunable to write nothing to disk thus allowing it to run embedded without need for a hard disk or directly from CDROM or DVDROM
• Supports multiple processors and multiple cores but can run fine on Pentium3 666Mhz with 256MB of RAM
• Small footprint can run from USB or thumb drive and initially consumes less than 20MB of memory
