NaviServer<ref>NaviServer Project</ref><ref>Official NaviServer NaviServer Source Code Repository</ref> is a high performance web server written in C and Tcl. It can be easily extended in either language to create web sites and services; there are over 35 modules available (including database integration or protocol support for UDP, SMTP, LDAP, DNS, COAP, etc.)
The project is under active development, NaviServer is mostly written in C with a very well-commented source code, had more than 6,000 commits made by 35 contributors representing more than 100,000 lines of code.<ref>"NaviServer statistics from Open Hub"</ref> NaviServer is licensed under the terms of the Mozilla Public License (MPL).
Recent new features include:
- an internal watchdog for automatic server restarts
- server internals exposed in a command line mode
- thread shared arrays (atomic operations, dict support)
- built-in caching with cache transaction semantics (cache commit/rollback)
- hot code swapping (update code in the running system without server restart)
- asynchronous spooling of requests and replies
- delivery of static files optionally with gzip or brotli compression with automatic re-compression on updates
- selective logging with color highlighting (non-blocking)
- efficient built-in crypto support
- mass virtual hosting
- byte-range requests for streaming and resumption of downloads
- rich HTTPS support (server and client-side SNI, OCSP Stapling)
- built-in HTTP/HTTPS client support, with log-files
- built-in statistics (for mutex locks/rwlocks, cache, db-handles, ...)
- bandwidth management via multiple connection thread pools
- WebSocket and IPv6 support
HistoryEdit
NaviServer is based on AOLserver (version 4.10), AOL's open-source web server. The NaviServer project started as a fork of the AOLserver project in July 2005.<ref>"naviserver-4.99.0"</ref> It is different by supporting multiple protocols, providing higher scalability through asynchronous I/O and aims to be less conservative with new feature development.
Historically NaviServer was the original name of the server, a closed-source product by a company called NaviSoft in the early 1990s.<ref>"The Web Tools Review on Servers"</ref> It was bought by AOL in 1995, and released as open-source in 1999 as AOLserver after they released Mozilla. This friendly-fork takes the code back to its original name.
Large applications of NaviServer are the ArsDigita Community System and OpenACS in particular.
