Description
kWS is a fast and efficient web server specifically optimized for Android mobile devices, allowing users to host websites and serve files via HTTP. It adheres to the HTTP-1.0 protocol and offers both basic and digest authentication for enhanced security. Additionally, it supports server-side includes (SSI) and provides functionality for directory indexing, enabling downloads in tar, tgz, and zip formats. Users can enjoy resumable file downloads and built-in Dynamic DNS updates, with the capability to handle up to 20 simultaneous connections and detailed HTTP logging. Moreover, kWS features HTTPS/TLS support, utilizing BKS and PKCS12 keystores, while ensuring file security through password-based encryption with 128-bit AES and Triple DES. The server also incorporates GZip compression, offers directory indexing in JSON and XML formats, and allows for sorting of indexes, making it highly customizable with support for as many as 999 parallel connections per port. Configuration at the directory level is supported, alongside compatibility with multiple Dynamic DNS providers, including ZoneEdit. Furthermore, kWS is designed to automatically start upon device boot, enhancing user-friendliness and accessibility. Overall, this versatile server solution streamlines the process of hosting and file serving on mobile platforms.
Description
This project's primary aim is to excel in a singular task: effectively serving static web directories. Many existing solutions tend to be overly complicated with features like CGI support and reliance on third-party libraries, or they fall short by lacking essential functionalities such as TLS, virtual hosts, or support for partial content. Quark seeks to strike a balance by focusing solely on static content while still incorporating advanced features typically found in more cumbersome alternatives, all while prioritizing security through methods such as chroot, privilege dropping, and strict parsing without dynamic memory allocation. We maintain that the majority of the web can operate without dynamic components, arguing that the escalating complexity of server-side applications significantly contributes to the web's growing inefficiency. In contemporary practices, the trend leans towards handling everything server-side, from parsing requests to altering files and databases, and generating HTML, often using inappropriate languages like PHP or JavaScript, which leads to significant security vulnerabilities and inefficiencies. By simplifying these processes, we aim to create a more streamlined and secure web environment.
