Forum Topic - Can we use Netfront instead of Slinger as a web server in QNX?: (2 Items)
   
Can we use Netfront instead of Slinger as a web server in QNX?  
Hello everybody,

I have used slinger web server and ds data server for developing a web interface for my embedded system.
but I need a more secure web server than slinger, to support SSL. Netfront supports many standards like SSL. but in "
http://www.qnx.co.jp/developers/articles/rel_1060_7.html", it is written that "This utility is available only in the Web
 Browser Technology Development Kit (TDK)." what does it mean? It means that I can't use it instead of slinger in my 
work?

Thanks in advance.
RE: Can we use Netfront instead of Slinger as a web server in QNX?  
Netfront is not a web server in the sense that you are thinking. It is a web client.

In Photon, several web clients were implemented using a general mechanism we called "PtWebServer": Voyager, Netfront, 
Mozilla. This general mechanism allows more than one kind of web layout engine to be chosen for PtWeb widgets, which 
interface via PtWebClient.

So when we refer to the "Netfront server" or "Mozilla server", this is purely an implementation detail at the client end
. It is not at all a true web server like Slinger.

I suggest looking into publicly available QNX ports of Apache 2 if you want to replace Slinger.
