A lightweight operating system-oriented web server realization

This paper describes a web server which is oriented to a lightweight operating system. The real-time server is used for remote control and data access. Both the characteristics of the lightweight operating system and the communication principle of HTTP are analyzed when implementing the server. To satisfy its practical requirements, the server is designed to achieve its major function with the limited resources of devices. The processes of request response and data package parsing are described in this paper in details. Meanwhile, this paper gives a new method to obtain the entity bodies from multiple request messages. Though limited by the low-performance hardware, the web server achieves strong portability and practicability. The experience shows that the server responds rapidly and runs steadily. The server also can be applied to the similar lightweight operating systems.
