Purpose: list and discuss the various options available to Tcl programmers 
who need HTTP/Web server access with Tcl scripting ability.

See http://www.purl.org/NET/Tcl-FAQ/part4.html which has a variety of 
Tcl based applications, several of which have HTTP server capabilities.

This list includes:

   * [AOLserver] + [OpenACS] 
   * Bauk HTTP Server - includes full support for dynamic pages in PHP, Perl, Gawk and Tcl providing the power of script-enabled pages and database integration[http://solair.eunet.yu/~kliker/]
   * [NaviServer] -- An offshoot of AOLserver 4.10.
   * several modules for Apache [http://tcl.apache.org], including [mod_tcl], [Rivet], the [NeoWebScripting] environment, and [websh].
   * Tcl based HTTP servers such as [tclhttpd] and tcl-httpd, 
   * Webservr.tcl from [BOOK Interactive Web Applications with Tcl/Tk]
   * http server plugins, 
   * application servers such as [Kinetic Application Processor],  [DynaWeb], ...
   * ???
   * applications with embedded HTTP servers such as [tclhelp], ...
   * ???
   * mkHttpd: small module allows to include a web user interface in application
   * [castle] "Clever Application Server/Tcl Language Environment"
   * [scwsd] (actually, it's static content, but it's '''Tcl'''-delivered static content)
   * [DustMote]
   * [CGI]-supporting servers
   * [Embedded TCL Web Server] a 50 line trivially embeddable pure-tcl web server with SSL and Authentication
   * [Wub]
   * [Roy Keene]'s [WebApp] a Tcl-based Web Application Framework, not really a Webserver (uses Apache+mod_rivet)

[LES] on 20040929: [DynaWeb], [castle], [scwsd] and [DustMote] are no more. 
Time flies. Things change. Nothing is like it used to be.

[Peter Newman] 17 December 2004: [Castle] and [scwsd] are still available.

[Larry Smith] - Geez, the server was only down for a couple days!  =)
