Using iPhone as a web server escort
Mark Hoekstra of Geek Technique wrote an interesting post that shows how you can use the ‘iPhone as a web server in stock, using the port lighttpd for smartphone of Cupertino. For those who do not know him, lighttpd is an Open Source web server that can run on machines that do not allow a high speed of execution, ensuring good performance.
Mark has used the iPhone during a maintenance to its web servers, configuring Lighttpd to show a static page containing some information about the current state of the site.
Within three hours this mini-server has served this page to 411 unique visitors, not bad for a device which was not at all designed for this use.
iPhone is also able to run the Apache Web server, but lighttpd in these conditions is a software that guarantees improved performance, needing less resources.
