Web server minimal functionality is to serve static content,
i.e., static files which are pointed to by the URI (Uniform Resource
Identifier:
http://logicerror.com/uri). Note, that the output produced
by the dynamic
component may not be the most important outcome (it may say: "Thank you for
visiting", for example). Dynamic processing
may create new files, send mail, search databases, and whatever else any
software on this planet can do. Depending on its relation to the Web server,
the dynamic content can be served in 3 ways:
- Standalone application
- Integrated application
- Application server
