Windows Mobile webserver

Webserver No Comments »
We have been accessing Internet through mobile phones for the past several years. Mobile phones have always been used as a client and used to pull information. Considering many power-packed phones, such as Nokia N-Series or Microsoft Windows mobile phones, it is quite possible that many of these high-end phones, are capable of serving as mobile web servers. Web servers of the early 1990s had configurations comparable to that of the current high-end mobile phones. Nokia has been toying with this idea and had released a web server for Symbian S60.Is it possible to convert a Windows mobile into a web server with minimal effort? Here is the first experimentAn Imate-KJam running the Windows mobile became my target. I do not want to spend too much time in writing a web server. I want to “put together” a few open source pieces to build a web server. And here is what I did.

  1. Downloaded PythinCE onto my mobile
  2. Downloaded a simple webserver code written in python.
  3. Connected my mobile to my wireless hotspot to get an IP address
  4. Wrote a few html files to test the web server
  5. Connected to my mobile from a desktop client
  6. Voila, my mobile became a webserver and started serving basic html pages

Please watch this page for more updates. I have created a cabinet file (.CAB) that includes PythonCE and webserver and some sample html files. I will post the CAB soon.
