EXTEND YOUR WEB SERVER'S REACH

Net.Dreams will soon be selling Flex-able 1.0, a new extensibility toolset for WebSTAR-compatible Web servers, the World Wide Webfish learned today. Flex-able makes it easy to implement a variety of add-on capabilities such as file uploading, form processing, form-to-e-mail processing, counters, rotation, redirection, and string functions. Available for any W*API-compatible Web server, such as WebSTAR, WebTen, and even AppleShare IP (for those Mac Serversites in the audience), Flex-able is priced at $299.

"Flex-able lets you extend your WebSTAR server to do a lot of things with form data," explained C. J. Holmes, president of Net.Dreams. "It's easy to use, giving you all kinds of tools in minutes, from mail processing to uploading multiple files at once to HTML rotation. Flex-able is a little Swiss army knife of extensibility tools."

As Crusty learned, Flex-able makes it easy to implement form data processing features on your W*API-compatible server. With Flex-able, it's simple to upload multiple files without using FTP. Flex-able transfers Web site form data to files, generates e-mail from form data, and provides hit counting and HTML rotation with a simple, straightforward interface.
