The HTTP protocol is the backbone of the Internet, and its reliable transmission of web pages, images, and other media has made it one of the most popular protocols used on virtually every device.  HTTP servers can range from simple configuration tools on LAN-based network devices, to fully fledged servers for the highest traffic sites on the Internet.  The advanced features of HTTP enable caching, connection pooling, and stay-alive connections for push/pull requests.  With the high level of functionality, the HTTP protocol can be customized for a large variety of implementations.

One of the new technologies making a significant impact on the field of HTTP development is Node.js.  As a highly scalable and configurable asynchronous server, Node enables a variety of new and interesting applications to be developed with much less coding than traditionally required for a fully custom HTTP server.  It’s low-level overrides make it easy to fully control how the server responds to a unique use-case.

When a more stable platform might benefit the server, a customized build of Apache or PHP could help provide the desired functionality.  Apache and PHP can both be recompiled and customized, with Apache offering web server modules, while PHP utilizing a system of extensions for full customization of the functions and HTTP server behavior.

Whatever the use case, apHarmony will be happy to aid in the development of the HTTP software project.  Please feel free to give us a call at 630-855-7522 for a free evaluation and quote.
