Welcome to ShadowSoftware

My first link is my HTML WebServer app which was created, like all my Apps to come, in FireFly.

For those new to FireFly, it is an awesome Application. I had already been slowly pulling away from DDT and wanting more control of my Apps than PBForms could provide. So far, FireFly has been the answer.

My WebServer hosts files on your local machine linked to the IP address you choose to host externally. My first attempt at a webserver app just hosted one csv file and received Form data and processed it for my last job, so I decided to take it a step further. This hosts any file stored in the "Base" folder which is the App's location at startup, but can be selected in the App. It also currently has a Base64 Encoding capability too that is a modified version of the function PB gives in there MailFile example, and I sped it up a little. This is used to encode the username and password so you can password protect your sites and have IE/Netscrape request it. I even built in a favicon for IE when it request one as it is adding the site to Favorites.

It allows sharing files from any folder and will create a directory contents page for the user's browser if the folder is selected and there is no index.htm file in it. I have also made use of checkboxes to select which files/folders to password protect. My tests so far show it works pretty slick. I even make sure all the filenames aren't too long and limit the file list to files under 1GB as the load of opening/sending files that big would freeze the app until it is finished. The TV switches between File List and Log View.

So far I only have a problem with it sending very large files and with ZoneAlarm Pro. I'm on their Beta Team, and found that both Version 4 and 5 cover up the wrong HTTP Headers with the Privacy Settings and it doesn't get the Last-Modified date at times to know whether IE has the correct/up-to-date file. They are in the process of fixing the errors and hopefully will release a patch soon.

Well, enough talk, here it is:

It has a three state Traffic Light Task Tray Icon. I also modified the SysMenu to have a Hide option and Right clicking the Close button also hides.
HTML is Freeware, but if you want to help continue my cause you can donate $5, $10, $20, $100, whatever you desire by clicking this button-

Donating gives you Tech Support and if improvements or fixes are made you will be notified at the email address you can specify in the box next to what software package(s) you are donating to.

My Next Link to come is a program I'm calling SearchXP. I started it after the many times of hating the results XP's File Search gives. Most of the time it returns files I don't want or doesn't return files that in fact contain the text I'm searching for, etc. And, the options are slim and don't work well for what people search for, so I decided to go with it. I made a nice filesearch routine and listview with my WebServer that I'm building on and making multi-threaded for getting results even quicker. Don't let the name fool you though, this is designed to work with all Win32 OS versions.
