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:

   * several modules for Apache [http://tcl.apache.org], including [mod_tcl], [Rivet], the [NeoWebScripting] environment, and [websh]
   * application servers such as [Kinetic Application Processor],  [DynaWeb], ...
   * [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/]
   * [castle] "Clever Application Server/Tcl Language Environment"
   * [DustMote]
   * [CGI]-supporting servers
   * http server plugins, 
   * applications with embedded HTTP servers such as [tclhelp], ...
   * mkHttpd: small module allows to include a web user interface in application [http://mkextensions.sourceforge.net/]
   * [NaviServer] -- An offshoot of AOLserver 4.10.
   * Tcl-based HTTP servers such as [tclhttpd] and tcl-httpd, 
   * [scwsd] (actually, it's static content, but it's '''Tcl'''-delivered static content)
   * [Embedded TCL Web Server] a 50 line trivially embeddable pure-tcl web server with SSL and Authentication
   * [THP]
   * Webservr.tcl from [BOOK Interactive Web Applications with Tcl/Tk]
   * [Web Templating]
   * [Wub]
   * [MHo]'s [Tclhttpd Winservice], based on [tclhttpd]
   * Dandelion [http://pietersz.co.uk/software/dandelion-server] is a small easily embeddable server, more capable than the very light servers (multiple simultaneous connections, multiple sites on different ports, can handle HEAD requests correctly, etc.), but much smaller and simpler than Wub or Tclhttpd
