September 26, 2001 - WebX Server Version 1.1 has been released. See the WebX release history for details. E-mail Tech Support with your serial number and name to receive your update.

Overview

Add WebX Server to your application and you will have a customizable ActiveX HTTP Server built into your application. Writing dynamic web pages or adding web based access to your application has never been easier.

You can easily add web based administration/configuration, client access, and reporting features to existing applications while reusing existing subroutines, functions and classes. And the best part, you can do all this while still working in the development environment of your choice, whether it is Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, or any environment that supports ActiveX controls.

Just the FAQs

Why should I Pay for a Web Server, when I can use PWS or IIS by Microsoft® for free?

First, let us start by saying PWS (Personal Web Server) and IIS (Internet Information Service) are excellent and very powerful servers. However, they are not well suited for stand alone applications that wish to have a web functionality.

Many problems can arise from the fact that PWS and IIS can have their configurations (such as permissions, default web pages, port, etc.) modified by the end user or even other installed applications, not to mention that they can be turned off, disabled, or un-installed. See more on installation and setup issues below.

Using WebX insures that the Web Server that your application relies upon will be available and under your complete control.

WebX also gives the added feature of being able to 'hide' your HTML files within your application or a DLL, eliminating the possibility of tampering, copying, or accidental deletion.

What advantages does WebX have over other servers?

WebX was designed by developers for developers and was not only intended for users who want to publish HTML. WebX gives developers access to features that are not available from other web servers. For example:

-	You can call Functions that are in your application from HTML. Reusing existing code has never been simpler.
-	Events can be raised when specific file types are requested. You can then choose how to respond to them or let WebX respond.
-	Trap requests from clients to WebX and if you wish, send out a customized response instead of the requested file.
-	Send and receive files from clients.

See the XML Database Sample Project to view some of these techniques in action.

How about distribution and setup programs?

WebX (WEBX.OCX) has a small footprint, less than 350K. It also requires the Visual Basic 6 runtime (MSVBVM60.DLL) and WinSock 2 Control (MSWINSCK.OCX).

A dependency file (webx.dep) is included with WebX, so creating installation programs could not be any easier. Compare that to the installation headaches you will have with installations and configuration of PWS or IIS.

Okay, how about licensing?

WebX requires one license per developer. If you are a licensed developer, WebX is freely redistributable, without any royalty fees.

NOTE: Per the License Agreement, programs created with the Trial/Evaluation Version of WebX may not be distributed in any fashion.

I already have my HTML designed, how can I import it into my application source?

Use our freeware tool, HTML2Code. It will automatically convert HTML files to VB code so they can be easily inserted into your project.
