Anyone interested in a webserver under source

philg · **Author**

Ive written a plugin that acts as a web server and runs as an addin to the Source Server.

Its like WebMod for CS1.x and is a basic web server (no ASP/server side stuff) thats intened to allow you to server CS based stuff - and for example, serve maps and downloads to CS over HTTP instead of the ingame engine (which makes it quicker)...

I use it on my own server, but if anyone is interested, I can provide a release?

Thanks,
Phil

Not only that; it also saves you the need of a secandary Apache instance + all the files ghosted at another location.

Good idea, but hopefully it wouldnt hog the srcds.

If you can somehow get it to limit the bandwidth that would be cool. Right now I limit the bandwidth so it doesn't kill the other servers I'm running (or the main pub) when someone downloads a map. 1 server on one box this would be cool. I'm sure on some of those rental places they won't like this at all. They are real tight on bandwidth and cpu utilization and they may not like it. I would like to see it for the webmod stuff though.

Ok, it already has bandwidth limits on each connection so you can limit each connection so you ceach connection to a certain BPS.

It dosnt hog SRCDS resources - its runs in its own thread under the SRCDS process. Im confident that its working pretty well as I have bee using and testing it since the source SDK came out last year

I will package it up and write a mini-howto and stick it on my website - or maybe here as the bandwidth will be a little better here!

Oh, but Im afraid its windows only and due to the threading and core windows stuff, it will be pretty difficult to convert to *nix variants - and I would suggest someone start form scratch if they wanted that (sorry about that)

In what language is it written? C++?

philg · 05-04-2005 , 14:38

Yes, C++ using ATL for the web server (hence the lack of unix support)
