Paul,

This was a feature request I made this past June (see below) but there was not much in the way of supporting requests.  I do not think it made it onto Tod's Top 10 or Top 100 list.  You may want to follow up the feature request on the CDEV list.

Can Sambar have multiple TCP for Web open at the same time ?

Want to have both ports 80 and 8080 open at the same time. Serving the
same content.

Thanks

I had the occasion to check out another web server and one of the nice features this server had was the ability to service multiple ports simultaneously.  One place in particular I can see this coming in handy is moving "special" sites off of the standard port 80.  For example, you could host any number of virtual hosts on port 80 but move the Sambar admin pages to port 1234.  The same goes for other administrative-type sites like MyPHPAdmin.  Another example might be to put restricted web mail on a non-standard port which would make it that much more secure because a potential miscreant would have to find the site first.

You could even go so far as:

http://www.mydomain.com/ - normal web site
http://www.mydomain.com:1234/ - Samber admin site
http://www.mydomain.com:2345/ - Sambar Web Mail site
http://www.mycomain.com:3456/ - MyPHPAdmin site

Would a feature like this be desirable by more than just a few people?  And if so, [Tod] would it be difficult to implement?

I don't think that would be very tough to implement.
The VHOST would simply be extended to set directory
mappings based on vhost or vhost:port (which is pretty
simple to add/extend).  As for opening multiple HTTP
listeners, that's quite easy, I can change the config.ini
from HTTP Port to HTTP Ports and allow a space separated
list.  I'll look at extending this in the next couple
of builds if folks would find it handy.
