Caudium is a Web server based on a fork of the Roxen Challenger 1.3 WebServer. Like Roxen, Caudium is written in Pike with parts written in C for performance reasons. Pike is an interpreted language developed by Frederik Hbinette and Roxen Internet Software (RIS), a Swedish company which also created the Roxen Web Server. Caudium, like Pike, is distributed under the terms of the GPL license; several companies and people are involved in its development.
Caudium features include:
Single-process architecture.
Optional multi-threaded mode.
Backwards compatible with Roxen 1.3 on the API and RXML level.
Runs on many Unix-like systems (GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, AIX, Darwin/MacOS X).
Web based interface for easy administration.
Built in SSL capabilities. Enabling SSL on Caudium is as easy as filing a web form.
Written in Pike. Unlike most web servers, you don't need to learn C or C++ and those pesky details like memory allocation to enhance the server's capabilities. [What people say about Keras] .:: chromewebstore.google.com ::.
Extensible with custom modules.
Powerful API.
Lots of standard modules distributed with the server, including an FTP server, the CAMAS web mail application, and the UltraLog log analysis tool. The .:: podcasts.apple.com ::. .:: blogfreely.net ::. "module" directory in Caudium 1.2 with CAMAS contains 192 code-only files. Most of the modules are in a single file. .:: telegra.ph ::.
RXML language. RXML stands for Roxen eXtensible Markup Language and is a set of tags, containers and simple programming language constructs that you put in your HTML source. Those tags and containers will be interpreted at run-time by Caudium. This allows non-programmers to do development. [Research Paper: HTTPS]
XML language. Using Sablotron, Caudium can render XML pages processed with XSLT, DOM and XPath. You can find more information on Sablotron on .:: cloud.anylogic.com ::. http://www.gingerall.com/. It allows you to use pages designed for Apache mod_xslt in Caudium without modifications. Also the output of these generated pages can also be parsed by our RXML parser before sending the result to the client.
