'''NaviServer''' is a programmable web server written in C and Tcl. It offers many features for building custom web sites. The implementation is high performance, but the interface is easy to use, at both the C and Tcl level.

[http://www.ohloh.net/p/naviserver/analyses/latest/commits_spark.png]

Features include:
   * Hybrid multi-threaded / async architecture for easy programmer interface ''and'' high performance
   * Threads isolated from each other with own Tcl interpreters [http://naviserver.sourceforge.net/n/naviserver/files/ns_ictl.html]
   * Shares data between threads easily with protected variables and caches[http://naviserver.sourceforge.net/n/naviserver/files/ns_cache.html]
   * Pooled database connections[http://naviserver.sourceforge.net/n/nsdb/files/ns_db.html] ''(also: [nsdbi])''
   * Dynamic Pages in TCL [http://naviserver.sourceforge.net/n/naviserver/files/ns_register_adp.html] (PHP- and ASP-like syntax)
   * Built-in cron-like scheduling
   * Watchdog for restarting server
   * Efficient handling for large up- and downloads
   * Tcl configuration file[http://naviserver.sourceforge.net/n/naviserver/files/ns_config.html]
   * ''and much, much more..!''

Runs (and is tested regularly) on: [Linux], [Solaris], [MacOS X]. Also runs on [FreeBSD] and Windows[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=130646&package_id=266633].

'''Ancient History'''

The code was originally [http://bitbucket.org/naviserver/naviserver/changeset/8e130eec8fbc/%|%(Feb 2005) %|%] forked from the [AOLserver] 4.10 branch, but has seen many independent [http://bitbucket.org/naviserver/naviserver/src/tip/NEWS%|%changes %|%] since then, and many back-ports of subsequent AOLserver 4.5 features.

Interestingly, AOLserver was originally called ''Naviserver'' before ''AOL'' bought the startup ''NaviSoft''. NaviSoft is mentioned in Charles Ferguson's book ''High Stakes, No Prisoners: A Winner's Tale of Greed and Glory in the Internet Wars''[http://www.amazon.com/High-Stakes-No-Prisoners-Internet/dp/0812931432].
