Oh. So what everything is the different between Aservia vs nYume?


why would you choose aservia over lightwebserver ?

I was just looking at what aservia can do. I haven't played with
lightwebserver either. What I like about nYume, is the no dependency on
external code/libraries/components. nYume only uses what is included
with FPC already.

It took me 5 minutes to get nYume to compile under the latest FPC 2.4.3
(64-bit linux).

We have a product that will require an embedded web server, so nYume
looks like a good choice. We just need to test its CGI support thoroughly.

Now, does anybody know if one can run a [embedded] webserver like nYume
as a standard desktop user under Linux? Without doing something like:

 $ sudo ./nYume

As far as I know:

Not unless you let it listen on a port >1024. Ports < 1024 are restricted
to root. Apache and so on first listen to the port, and then change user to a user with lower rights.

At least, it used to be so 10 years ago. Maybe things got less strict these 
days.
