The Windows Embedded CE-based Web Server (HTTPD) implementation enables you to monitor, configure, and remotely control a device or computer through the use of a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. The Web Server provides this service for network printers, scanners, and other shared equipment.

Web Server implements a subset of HTTP 1.0 and allows connections to be maintained through keep-alive functionality. Web Server provides file downloads, multiple virtual paths, and simultaneous connections. You can include additional Catalog items in your OS design to add support for authentication, Internet Server Application Program Interface (ISAPI) extensions, ISAPI filters, and/or active server pages (ASP). Services.exe loads the Web Server at system startup.
