Can I disable features to minimize memory footprint at run-time?

If I'm using AppWeb as a stand-alone web server, can I use the GPL?

Answers

Can I disable features to minimize memory footprint at run-time?

Yes. AppWeb loads URL handlers, scripting engines and other functionality via a run-time module loading mechanism. Via the AppWeb configuration file, you can selectively enable the loading of function modules. For example, if you don't require CGI, comment out the "LoadModule cgi..." directive.

If I rebuild the source, can I disable features at compile time?

Yes. When AppWeb is built from source, a single bld.h header controls exactly what features and modules are built into the server. For example, if you don't require HTTP Keep-Alive support and you wish to minimize memory footprint, you can modify the MPR_FEATURE_HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE definition to be 0.
