Internet toolkit HTTP Server

[Po]

Hi all,

I want to be able to use the http server from the internet toolkit without
Labview installed on the server and run from an executable or labview
player. there is a way to do this?

Thanks for help
Eric

Eric,

Is there any particular reason that you want to use the HTTP Server from the Internet Toolkit instead of the G Web Server that is automatically included in LabVIEW executables built with version 5.1 and later? The G Web Server is much easier to use with an executable, and is actually more robust.

There are several KnowledgeBase entries on our website that discuss issues surrounding the use of the G Web Server with a LabVIEW executable. To find these KnowledgeBase entries, I recommend you use search terms like "G Web Server", "HTTP Server", executable, etc.

I wish you luck with your application. Have a pleasant day.

Sincerely,

Hi Darren,

The main reason why I choose the internet toolkit http server is because I
need to publish a dynamic screen of a VI by the monitof.vi.

Ok, I see. Did you know that with the G Web Server, all you have to do is add a parameter to the URL of the VI and it will automatically monitor it (publish the VI screen dynamically)? You can simply enter http://ipaddress/.monitor?name.vi in the browser, and it will perform in the same manner as if you used the monitor.vi.

I hope this helps. Have a good day.
