Web server
The web server is a software that lets you publish html pages (or pages with other extensions) to a PC, which must have another specific software to display them.These softwares, called Browsers, include Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer.Communication between the Client and the Server takes place with the HTTP (Hypertext Transfer) protocol.The Client is a computer that can access the Server’s services. The Server is often (but not always) another computer. This structure is commonly called the client-server model.
Pages to be displayed can also be created with a simple text editor or with specific editors known as HTML editors.Starting with GAB version 4.2.0, all systems are equipped with a web server that can be enabled by appropriate configuration pages of the set-up programme.The GEFRAN web server is a custom version of the GoAhead Webserver (Copyright © 1999-2014 GoAhead Software, Inc. All rights reserved) to which asp-like commands have been added in order to implement login and computer data access functions.After the project is done, it is copied to the target computer in the /ata0a/webs/web folder and the first page must be called home.asp.If you want to use a different name, you have to create a home.asp file that runs a re-route to the page you want.The system is supplied with example pages that describe how to use all of the custom commands added to the GoAhead Webserver.
