Hello Uday,
thanks for your email, please see my answers inline. You can also
subscribe to our mailing list for an easier communication.
1) Since the helenos doesnot have a browser support,how is it able to
show the html files.
There is indeed no full-fledged HTTP client in HelenOS so far. You have
to use a browser running elsewhere to access the content served by the
web server running in HelenOS, over the (virtual) network.
Alternatively, you can use the nterm utility to send the raw HTTP
requests manually.
if at all we want to serve any other web pages,how to do it?
You can put whatever static content you want to /data/web in HelenOS to
be served by the web server.
2) Since i have installed helen in Virtual manager,how can i communicate
with the os in virtual manager from the host os so as to use the
webbrowser in host system and get the html page from helen.
I assume that you are actually using QEMU/KVM as the virtualization
solution. You can either use the QEMU user mode network stack and
forward the ports [1] or configure network bridging [2] to connect the
virtual machine directly to the physical ethernet.
In Virtual Machine Manager GUI this can be configured rather easily
using the virtual network interfaces (look for the "Network Interfaces"
tab in the Connection Details) and by configuring a proper virtual
network interface in the configuration of the virtual machine.
HelenOS does not have any kind of automatic network configuration so
far, thus don't forget to configure the networking inside HelenOS
afterwards [3].

I also want to know about the "nterm" .can u give me a deep insight into
it,regarding the commands
There is really very little to say about nterm, it is a simple
netcat-like utility and its use is rather trivial [4].
If you really need a deep insight, please read the source code. It's
really just 365 lines of code (including the comments and the BSD
license headers).

and how to Set up a one-shot webserver on port
8080 to present the content of a file.
The web server listens on port 8080 implicitly, you just need to run it.
