Server Features and Software
ASPSecured (Windows Only)
ASPSecured is a great security management application you can use to develop secure asp pages and protect parts of your applications. You can password protect pages to groups and just associate users to the groups. User accounts can be set to automatically expire. You can mass e-mail all of the users in your database based on demographics. Users can register with the user signup page, and if a user forgets their password, they can use the password lookup script. The setup takes less than a minute and there are no dll's to install.
.htaccess Support (Unix Only)
.htaccess files allow site owners to set special characteristics about there site using a simple file. .htaccess can be used to create custom error pages, change CGI execution parameters, make directories indexable, and a plethora of other functions.
CGI Bin & CGI Aliases
The cgi-bin is a special area on the web server where perl scripts are placed for correct execution. CGI aliases allow you to map non-standard file extensions for use with CGI outside of the cgi-bin.
ImageMagick
ImageMagick is a robust collection of tools and libraries to read, write, and manipulate an image in many image formats (over 90 major formats) including popular formats like TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, and GIF. With ImageMagick you can create images dynamically, making it suitable for Web applications. You can also resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce, or add special effects to an image or image sequence and save your completed work in the same or differing image format. ImageMagick's focus is on performance, minimizing bugs, and providing stable APIs and ABIs.
