Nokia Releases New Beta of Mobile Web Server

Nokia has released a new beta of its web server for smartphones. Version 1.5 of the Mobile Web Server (MWS) has been updated to better support the intelligent networking aspects of Symbian S60 v3.2, and addresses some aspects of site management and access.

A new Access Rights web page highlights some of the site administration updates. This new page makes it easier to see and control access to MWS pages.

RSS has been addressed with a new configurable RSS feed. Instead of just taking all the content, RSS feeds can now be separated into several feeds for the different aspects of the MWS.

Finally, developers now have the ability to add their own Python web applications. By using the MWS SDK and framework, developers can create  external applications which, when added to the MWS, will show up in navigation similar to the built-in applications.

Use of Nokia's Mobile Web Server requires a Symbian S60 device running version 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2. Some features are only available on version 3.2, and memory constraints of the device will limit performance.
