CSE 135 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Web Framework, Internet Server Application Programming Interface, Asp.Net
Document Summary
Make a web server based program : get data in, process data, perform computation, get data out. Output: some form of data usually http, gif, jpeg, etc. (+ appropriatae header) You need to fix the stateless nature of http to do anything meaningful. You should provide features to make programming easy (allow for access to dbs) Note: it is expensive to launch a program! Server api running inside web server"s address space. Web application framework running inside web server process but managing its own pool of resources via ipc. Write code on a file with a certain file extension (say . bozo) Web server is configured to intercept any files ending in . bozo. All descended from ss includes (ssi), original parsed html solution that allowed. Asp, asp. net, cold fusion, jsp/servlets, php, etc. Idea: you don"t really have a web server! You don"t really know what web servers do for you! (in terms of protection)
