Smartphones can do a lot of things - but how many of you honestly thought it could ever run Apache web server?! (the web's most used web server) Well the Nokia Research Center is making that happen...


For quite some time it has been possible to access the Internet using mobile phones, although the role of the phone has strictly been that of a client. Considering that the modern phones have processing power and memory on par with and even exceeding that of webservers when the web was young, there really is no reason anymore why webservers could not reside on mobile phones and why people could not create and maintain their own personal mobile websites.

...think of the possibilities. For one, instead of you sending photos and other content to your friends, they could just connect to your smartphone and grab it themselves. What other cool new things could we see if smartphones were running web servers?



Untill Apache for S60 is being released you can try VS-http server which is already pretty old by now...
