Web Hosting

I would like to host a simple HTML website for use on my local network. Is this possible to do on the Spinneret. If so could someone tell me how I could do this. I have looked online but have found no documentation on how to set one up.

Any help would be appreciated.

    The coding for the Spinneret is very much work in progress. Folks are working unstructured and are generating a number of interesting results. There are some working examples but no complete solution that will meet your needs right now. That's the purpose of this forum, to build up working examples to help others build what they want to build.

    You'll need to troll the examples in this forum. The one I'm focussing on is from BEAN

    Though there are lots of other examples.

    RokkieWebDeveloper, I'd like to suggest that you take a look at Oldbitcollectors work. He has a functional Spinneret that is hosting a web site. You can read a thread about his adventure and get a link to his system here: http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?128988-Spinneret-going-up-for-Propellerpowered.-Want-to-peek-over-my-shoulder

    @RookieWebDeveloper, Do you just want to server up web pages from your local network?

    To clarify: I would like people on my local network to be able to access a HTML website.

    Thanks everyone for their help so far.

    Open the demo web server code. Update the spinneret IP address, subnet mask, and MAC address. Load the demo. If you're not sure about configuration and are running windows, enter ipconfig in a cmd window and press enter. (start -> run -> cmd or start -> search -> cmd). This will give you the subnet mask and IP of your computer. You'll have to pick an IP that does not exist on your network and assign it to the spinneret. you do that by editing the Web Server Demo code.

    Then all you have to do is enter [http:// spinneret ip address] in your browser's address bar.
