一、嵌入式web服务器
在网上找了很多关于嵌入式web server的资料,比如shttpd、appweb、boa、go ahead、server等等, 但都有网友反映移植不方便、资源要求高等等。如果用于运行ucLinux的arm9上,就没有什么问题,而用于运行ucOS的arm7上,则有很多限制,需要进行很多的移植工作,今天找到一个叫做LibHttpd的,采用ANSIC编写,仅从介绍上来看,非常适合arm7的嵌入式设备使用。
嵌入式设备中使用Web server的主要目的就是用来进行参数设置,使用这种方式,有很多优点:
1、可以给用户熟悉的用户界面,减少用户的学习负担。
2、具有B/S方式的优点,不再需要在每个客户机上安装配套的软件,不需要在客户机上升级软件,也不再需要支持由于客户机环境带来的种种问题。
LibHttpd是一个开源轻量级嵌入式Web server,LibHttpd实现了下述功能:
1)实现了HTTP的子集;
2)使用表格技术自动处理Html Form数据;
3)产生的内容既可以是静态的网页,也可以是调用C函数动态产生的(callback);
LibHttpd提供API,利用这些API,用户可以很方便地将自己的Web内容加入到程序当中。
二、libhttpd中带有英文的使用手册,也增加了使用实例源码,在编程中可以做一个很好的模板:
#include "config.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
#ifdef _WIN32
# include <getopt.h>
#else
# include <sys/time.h>
#endif
#include "httpd.h"
/*
** This is a static page of HTML. It is loaded into the content
** tree using httpdAddStaticContent( ).
*/
#define test1_html "<HTML><BODY>This is just a test</BODY>"
#define ember_code1 "printf(\"This is from ember in process %d\n\",getpid());"
#define ember_code "load \"/usr/local/nk/www/content.lib\"; dispatchWebPage(\"/index.html\");"
/*
** Below are 2 dynamic pages, each generated by a C function. The first
** is a simple page that offers a little dynamic info (the process ID)
** and the setups up a test link and a simple form.
**
** The second page processes the form. As you can see, you can access
** the form data from within your C code by accessing the symbol table
** using httpdGetVariableByName() (and other similar functions). You
** can also include variables in the string passed to httpdOutput( ) and
** they will be expanded automatically.

return;

if (variable == NULL)
{
httpdPrintf(server,"Missing form data!");
return;
}
/*

** embedded in the text is expanded automatically
