A Web server is software,

which is collection of some

programs to achieve a
particular task. It will manage
WebPages and responds to the
client’s request.
E.g. of some web servers are,
1. Apache webserver
2. Netscape webserver
3. Tomcat webserver
4. Personal webserver
(Win95, 98
environments)
5. Peer webserver
 6. IIS (internet
information services)
( provided by Microsoft)
IIS is the collection of
following services,
1. HTTP SERVICE (world
wide web publishing
service)
2. FTP SERVICE
3. SMTP SERVICE
(mailing service)
4. NNTP SERVICE
(network news transport
protocol)
IIS can have more than one
website. Unlimited users can
send request and access at a
time.
(NOTE: ASP.NET requires
IIS5.0)
Installing webserver (IIS 5.0)
comes with Operating
System like windows 2000,
windows XP. With the
installation of webserver it
will provide a website called
as default website.
The physical path for this
default website is,
 C:\inetpub\wwwroot

Webserver is providing
security for the file system.

Configuring website means
changing the physical path of
website.
A tool is provided for
configuring IIS,
i.e. Internet Services

Client can make the request
now.
http://localhost/demo.html
this will refer to d:\aspnet to
locate demo.html instead of
C:\InetPub\WWWroot

PORT NUMBER: -
A port number is a logical
one, which connects a client
request towards a particular
service.
 This port number should be a
unique
identifier for each service.
Port number should be in the
range of 0-65535.
The port number between 0-
1023 is called as reserved
ports.
E.g. http80
Ftp21

If client request is,

Default
http://localhost/demo.html then, INET 80

Go to Inetrnet services

Server side execution:

When the execution of
statements takes place within
the webserver machine then it
is called as server side
execution.

To understand the serverside

codes,The codes should be
writen in <
%-------------------------------

IIS 1.0Server side

IIS2.0PERL(Practical

Language)
IIS3.0ASP 1.0(It supports
ActiveX)
IIS 4.0ASP 2.0
IIS5.0ASP.NET
“ASP is a technology
incorporated with webserver
IIS.This is a Dll file called as
ASP.DLL which will be
installed along with
webserver installation.
ASP.DLL comes with
scripting engines like,
1. java script
2. VB script

It carries ASP objects

(intrensic objects or global
objects) like,
1. request
2. response
3. session
4. application
5. server
 6. asperror(asp 3.0)

A request may contain

plaintext,textbox data,IP
address of the client and
cookie information.
By using request object,
servercan read information
provided by client.

By using the response object

the cookies informations are
overwritten.
Response can be plaintext
and overwriteen cookie
informations etc.

Submission of webpage:
This means providing one
page information to another.

source page:
<form name=”name”
method=POST/GET
action=”destination page”>
…….
…….
</form>

destination page:
request.form(“control name”)
request.Querystring(“----“)

Difference between POST

and GET
POST
1. The data will be sent to
http message body.
(filestream)
 2. It can be used for
sending any amount of
data.
3. it will provide security
for data.
4. the transmission of data
is slow here.
GET
1. The data will be sent to

http header by appending

to URL.(QuryString)
2. It can be used for
sending maximum of 4kb
of data.
3. it will provide no such
security for data.
4. the transmission of data
is fast here.
