Any reason you wrote your own web server instead of using Apache or the hundreds (or maybe thousands) of other scaleable and highly configurable ones out there ?

Because this will directly interact with programs I create. I can use a web browser to set parameters in my custom programs. Wait until I create a web interface for my radio, and do other cool stuff. It will be more than dishing out pages, and fully customizable.Originally Posted by n2ize
But couldn't you take your existing web server and rebuild it ? For instance you can take Apache and you can create a module to do almost anything. You wouldn't even have to rebuild it everytime and it would handle almost anything you can think of.

No, because I am using LabVIEW, and LabVIEW is it's own, distinct programming language. It is not text based.
Repeat after me, Paul:
"This is cool shit and not only am I having fun, I'm learning a bunch by doing it myself."
You owe the world no explanation beyond that which might enhance the world. And even that is optional. Sounds like some... well... cool shit! :)
Now rendering pages, graphics, etc..
BUT...
Have to deal with Microsoft file structure conversions - easy matter, just have to trap for %xx and change the / to \, etc, etc...
Done!
Next, display directory content if no index.html.....
Done!
Everything seems to work just fine. Brush up on some rough points, and this version will be finished!
Then will be the options, and CGI/Form handling (Corey, this will be the radio interface).
Why waste time with LabVIEW ? LabVIEW is junk. I wouldn't be caught dead with it on my system. There are a million other ways to program that are 100% better.

Is this the arrogance of SW types? Met them before. LabVIEW is fun, easy, and 10x faster to create applications than C, and much faster than JAVA. What is your experience with LabVIEW?
My experience with LabVIEW was to eliminate it from my department. For simple one or two man projects it was okay. But for advanced cutting edge projects it was totally inflexible slow and inefficient. If you are working "within the box" it might be okay depending on what you are using it for.
