Hi,
Let me introduce you to HIX. It's a web server that's ready to go from the second you download it, so you can start running any website you want, right away.
Think of it like the Apache executable that acts as a server—well, HIX is also a single executable file.
It comes bundled with the entire UT library and is designed for developers who just want to build web apps using traditional elements. The backend is powered by Harbour, so a lot of the groundwork is already done for you. This whole project started with a couple of developers who were tired of compiling UT; they just wanted a simple server tool to support their applications.
Harbour Executable
Harbour Backend
Within minutes, if you have a bit of know-how, you can easily set up any form for your clients to access from their phone, tablet, computer… you name it.
The system runs from the console, configuration is a breeze, and you can build robust and secure web applications incredibly easily. You can create custom routes, set up SSL, configure a firewall, manage user access, define error status pages, and tweak the core Harbour settings… you get the idea.
The whole point is: One click and you have a server up and running.
The pre-release is ready to go and you can download it right now from GitHub:

You can find all the info and help in the wiki:

And for any questions that have come up, there's a full breakdown here on the blog (blog has a translator):

Harbour is more than capable for this web scenario. We don't need Python, PHP, or any other languages—we already have our own. I think this could be a real game-changer for a lot of you.
Nice weekend.
