Hello,
I'm trying to build a minimal embedded web server, EWS (possibly using PIC and later slow ARMs) as a proof of concept allowing the remote monitoring of various automated measurements. There seems to be a wide variety of available (open source, commercial and hobby) systems on various platforms. One thing I haven't found too often is the use of HTTP 1.1's "persistent connections"[1] which could cut down the amount of admin work needed for TCP/IP connections. While I realise that it might not be significant for "big" cores, it is for minimal configurations such as micro-controllers (eg. PICs). Any ideas as to why that is? (maybe i should post this in TCP/IP news groups instead?)
thanks, Mischa
