To create a web server application for Windows, select Windows in the New Web Server Application Wizard and follow the steps below.

WebBroker Project Type page

On this page, you can select the type of web server application.

  1. Select the required type of web server application:
    • Apache dynamic link module: a server that hosts static or dynamic websites, providing secure and efficient web server features as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and virtual domains. Apache supports HTTP and HTTPS.
    • Stand-alone console application: sets up an environment for developing Web server console applications.
    • ISAPI dynamic link library: ISAPI web server applications are are dynamic link libraries (DLL) that are loaded by the web server. Client request information is passed to the DLL as a structure and evaluated by TISAPIApplication. Each request message is handled in a separate execution thread. Selecting this type of application adds the library header of the project files and required entries to the uses list and exports clause of the project file.
    • CGI stand-alone executable: a console application that receives client request information on standard input and passes the results back to the server on standard output. This data is evaluated by TCGIApplication. Each request message is handled by a separate instance of the application. Selecting this type of application adds the library header of the project files and required entries to the uses list and exports clause of the project file.
  2. Click Next.
