Don't get excited it's pretty lame... but since it came up in the lounge, here's my Apple II Web Server!

At the moment it's running on a IIgs @ 2.6 MHz. I'll keep it running until it blows up, or it gets boring. Since there's no file system support in the A2 Contiki port I'm stuck with the default pages (which are hard-coded into the app)... maybe if I get really ambitious I'll see about messing with that.

Enjoy!

It's a IIGS serving the web no less! Congratulations!!! A computer that could be as old as 21 being able to do this is incredible!!!

It could actually run on a ][+ which would be considerably older, but the Uther card is in the IIgs at the moment and I can't imagine leaving my ][+ on 24/7 ;-)

If I can figure out how to hack the default pages, I'll likely host it on a IIe.

Coolness, even if the page doesn't load right now. I want to try Contiki sometime, just for the geek value. I'd love to have a *nix port of its web browser.

The II+ would be great...an almost 30 year old web server!!! (Which I think would be older than the majority of people on this board).

Very nice! How long 'til the BBS is running on it?

Not possible at this time... really though, it's a shame no one's developing apps with uIP for the Apple II. It would be pretty sweet to at least have a functional telnet client, and I'm sure a BBS wouldn't be an enormous stretch.

That is rediculously pimp.

Aw, not that lame.

I tried from work, but evidently they block port 6502. Go figure! Works great at home!

I was able to change the page colours just by editing the program file with Text Wrangler, so there's hope for making the thing semi-useful. First time out it crashed immediately, but seems to be working now...

Thats amazing to think... A thirty year old web server... 30!! Before the internet was even in it's current incarnation... That honestly blows me away. Amazing...

Looks like I'm wrong about this... the webserver is only included on the 80-column version which requires an enhanced IIe, so only 25 years old ;-)

Only 25 years old? That's the same age as my other half...and she certainly couldn't host a web site

I just squirted tea out of my nose laughing at that!

Hi. Being the very person who requested this web server, I am very pleased with your work. I hope that one day you can serve Apple II games with Applelet.

Oh, and if the FTA is reading this, make sure to get a Java version of your emulator out, pronto! Preferably one with Java 1.3 support. :b&w:
