HTUIL Web Server 2.0

HTUIL is a dedicated Win32-based web server available in PLD2 compiler source. HTUIL connects directly to TCP/IP via Winsock on its own registered port and processes http GET commands. The HTUIL package includes source and the PLD2 compiler to compile and test it. Each http GET command is processed as an HTUIL object: a PLD2 subroutine and/or data object. HTUIL and all HTUIL objects are compiled into a dedicated server executable. The PLD2 subroutine can call Windows API, do calculations, generate dynamic text, and otherwise do all the actions available to a general purpose compiler language routine. Data objects are usually external HTML files or HTML fragments that are compiled into the executable file. Data objects may contain HTUIL extensions that invoke other nested data objects. The HTUIL extensions and PLD2 integration are a substitute for CGI, which is not supported. HTUIL based servers are dedicated in the sense that all HTML files it processes are compiled in, rather than fetched at run time. The HTUIL source license encourages commercial development by not requiring you to share any proprietary investments you make.
