bowwow - a Lightweight Web Server

Woof! includes a simple web server BowWow, based on Wibble, that can be used as a lightweight development web server or to quickly try out Woof! without installing a separate web server.

BowWow comes in two forms:

  • As a standalone Windows executable, bowwow-VERSION.exe which is entirely self-contained and has no other software dependencies. It includes the web server, Woof!, associated libraries and a Tcl interpreter. Just download and run.
  • A script, bowwow.tcl located in the scripts directory in the standard distribution. This can be run by invoking it with a Tcl shell.

The next two sections describe the use of each of these.

Woof! Version: 0.4, Server: Apache, Interface: CGI, Tcl: 8.6b1.1
