Open Web Server on HPUX

HPUX

River Tarnell has ported Open Web Server to HPUX.

Since Open Web Server is a fork of Sun Web Server, and SWS currently is built and supported on HPUX, what River has essentially done is provide the missing make files, dependencies, and other technical doodads that Sun elected not to make available when they created Open Web Server.

Great job River!

Now we just need to see if someone will do this for MacOS X.

In one capacity or another I've been working on or with the same product since summer of 1997. When working at Verity a good number of our customers were using the Verity Search engine with Netscape Enterprise Server 2.0 and the just released 3.0. When Verity announced that the support department was to be cut at the end of the year I made a smooth transition to Netscape.

Tomcat and Open Web Server

The Apache Tomcat project implemented the ajp* protocol with an NSAPI plugin for Netscape Enterprise Server. This NSAPI should also work with iPlanet Web Server, Sun ONE Web Server, Sun Java System Web Server, and the newly open sourced Open Web Server. The Tomcat ajp* NSAPI allows (Sun|Open) Web Server to act as the HTTP front-end and load balancer for Tomcat (similar to mod_jk).
