Introduction
1.1About the ARM Webserver
The information in this manual enables you to port the ARM Webserver to an embedded system. By the end of the porting procedure, your system will be able to serve Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) features, for example:
•text files
•forms
•graphics
•Java Applets.
Some HTML knowledge is needed, but everything you need to know about Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to port the server is in this document. If you have no previous experience with HTML, it is suggested that you learn the basics of HTML programming and write a few practice web pages.
