Integrating an Embedded Web Server in a dedicated device presents
special requirements on the server in terms of memory consumption,
performance, security and functional requirements. The Interpeak
Secure Embedded Web Server is a versatile, configurable, high performance
HTTP server that has low ROM and RAM footprint. It is specifically
designed for operating in an embedded environment.

Since the HTTP protocol does not contain any security features,
the HTTPS protocol was invented. It introduces Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) functionality in the communication between the Web Server
and the browser. This almost eliminates the risk of security breaches,
and has now become the de facto standard for secure web communication.
The Interpeak Secure Embedded Web Server has built-in support for
Interpeak SSL, an extensive implementation
of the SSL protocol. The SSL support is configurable, and can be
removed to get minimum footprint.
