What is the difference between"G Web Server", and "HTTP Server"?

Fatal,

They are the same thing. The web server that comes built in to LabVIEW is known as the LabVIEW Web Server. The web server that comes with the Internet Toolkit is known as the G Web Server because it is entirely coded in G. The G Web Server is also someimes referred to as the HTTP Server because that is the name of the top level VI for the G Web Server.

What about "Web server" and "remote panel server" and "application web server" and "web services"?  Are theses all the same thing?

The Internet Toolkit included a web server written in G. I was called "HTTP Server" at one point in time, the "G Web Server" at another point in time.

LabVIEW has a built in web server for running remote panels. This server was called the "LabVIEW Web Server" in LV 2011 and earlier. In LabVIEW 2012, it is now referred to as "Remote Panel Server". This web server runs inside the LabVIEW process, and is used to give remote access to a VI's front panel.

The Application Web Server is a web server that hosts LabVIEW built Web Services. The Application Web Server runs in a process separate from LabVIEW and the Remote Panel Server.
