I need a good redistributable local web server that supports filtering and standard CGI to include it with my scripting language. It can be a complete solution or an ActiveX component. It must work fine on all versions of 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and I have to be able to distribute it with my software (like Indigo Star's MicroWeb). It must support file uploads with passing the data to the CGI and should return status code received from CGI. Anyone knows anything that might help me?

Thank you!

You mean like IIS? Apache?

Well yes and no.
I mean yes I need a web server (just like IIS and Apache) but it has to be redistributable - meaning that I can reconfigure it and include in my own setup package. I've purchased IndigoStar Software - MicroWeb, and it works perfectly with Win XP (and earlier) but on Vista and Win 7 it generates database related errors with my scripting language due to user access permissions. they are currently working on the issue, but I need a backup solution, because when my potential user gets the error he blames my scripting language, not web server. And my scripting language is so simple that many of our users do not know how to install or configure web server, but they can use our software to make web applications. So, we are targeting mostly HTML beginners that want to start programming their first web app. and I can not afford that my examples do not work due to web server.

Any suggestion is welcomed
BR,

You should be able to do that with Apache, since its configuration is just text files.

Well, thank you! I actually did not know that ASF allows distribution of their software as a part of a commercial solutions, but based upon their license and license FAQ, it seems that I can modify configuration and include the server with my installation package. I'll check it more detail on their site, but I think that solves my problem.

Thank you!
