<div dir="ltr">for a super simple server check out a post in nokia's forum, jkirma posted a pretty simple web server for PYS60, just remove the S60 specific part and that should be it. <br><a href="http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=124217">http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=124217</a><br>
<br>talking about python, has anybody tried twisted on the FR?<br><br>-Jose<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 16, 2008 at 9:35 AM, Dirk Bergstrom <<a href="mailto:openmoko@otisbean.com">openmoko@otisbean.com</a>> wrote:<br>

run a webserver on the phone, so I can write dirt-simple UIs that way,<br>
rather than getting tied up in GTK/e/Qt.<br>
<br>
I see that there's a busybox server:<br>

<br>
One might also consider thttpd:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/" target="_blank">http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/</a><br>
<br>
Or shttpd:<br>

I suspect any of them would be OK for serving static files. However, I<br>
wonder if CGI would be feasible. I'm guessing that spawning a shell<br>
script wouldn't be too hard, but I suspect that spinning up a whole<br>
python process might be a bit much for the little arm CPU. Anyone have<br>
any thoughts on that?<br>
<br>
Since I'm quite familiar with Django (<a href="http://www.djangoproject.com" target="_blank">http://www.djangoproject.com</a>), I<br>
thought I might just run the Django development server, which has a<br>
toy-ish httpd server built in. That way I'd already have python<br>
running, so I'd avoid all the fork/exec/load-libraries overhead.<br>
<br>
Not really sure where I'm going with this, just throwing out ideas to<br>
see if anyone says yea or nay.<br>
