Features

Extreme Performance — Bauk provides higher performance for both static and dynamic content than any other Web server. For example, it's more than 3 times faster than Apache serving same tasks. See our Benchmarks, and BaukBench HTTP/1.1 benchmark tool and compare/verify yourself. Bauk has it's reputation with a reason
Single-Process Architecture — Architecture with most effective resource utilization. Uses only a single process
Low Resource Consumption — Bauk can use as little as 10% of system resources compared to Apache in a same configuration and usage pattern. For example, a typical Linux instance consumes around 2MB of memory. Can you say this is efficient? Suitable for dedicated and VPS servers
Advanced Memory Management — Bauk always returns memory to system. Does not hold unused memory but returns it to system for further use. Set 20MB for FileCache and observe the beast do it's work
Static and Dynamic Content — Complete ASP-like scripting environment for Server-Side JavaScript, PHP, Perl, Python and Tcl. Ie. easy just like working with HTML files, scripts placed in Web directory automatically executed by Web server/interpreter. This page you are viewing, and entire Bauk Web site, is powered by Bauk/GromJS Server-Side JavaScript. See Bauk Forum app and other sites powered by Bauk/GromJS/PHP
Unlimited simultaneous HTTP connections / clients — Serves any number of simultaneous HTTP connections on a single machine/system without any performance penalty
Unlimited Virtual Hosts — Serves any number of Virtual Hosts on a single machine/system without any performance penalty
Dynamic Virtual Hosts — Add/remove hosts on-the-fly simply by adding/removing a directory, ie. www.domain.com → /path/to/www.domain.com/ without server stopping/restarting
RDP (Reverse Domain Path) Dynamic Virtual Hosts — Ie. www.domain.com → /path/to/com/domain/www/
OS Support and Portability — Linux and *BSD 32bit/64bit. Bauk requires no configuration, compiles on all systems out of the box in a single "make bauk" command. No dependancies to chase, versions, etc.

Bauk HTTP Server Web site is in it's entirety powered by Bauk/GromJS.

//print env variable
print("<html><body>");
print("User_Agent: ", Server.getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"), "<br>\n");
print("Remote_IP: ", Server.getenv("REMOTE_ADDR"), "<br>\n");
print("</body></html>");

Output:

User_Agent: CCBot/2.0
