HTTP Servers
Web Server:
Also called HTTP Server. A computer where Web sites and Internet sites are stored. The server software uses HTTP to serve HTML documents, associated files, and scripts when requested by a Web browser.

Although it might seem that a web server is a machine, it is really a process running on a machine that serves HTTP content to web browsers on client machines. This is important because you can actually put several web servers on a single machine as long as you designate specific ports through which traffic will travel. Along the same lines, there are also FTP servers, mail servers, and so on, each of which handles a specific type of traffic.

Firecat
Firecat is a Server-Side JavaScript Webserver.
With firecat you can build complete Web Applications using JavaScript
on both the Client-Side(AJAX) and the Server-Side(NSP).
It is similar to ASP and JSP, but instead of VBScript and Java,
it uses JavaScript as the main scripting language.
Firecat is geared towards Webmasters, Web Designers and Web Developers,
who want to leverage their JavaScript skills on the server-side. Building
webpages should be simple. Any Internet User should be able to create
webpages with server-side functionality, without being forced to learn
complicated programming languages.
Firecat is written in Java and can run on any Java Virtual Machine,
but the main target will be to support Free Runtimes such as
SableVM, JamVM, Kaffe, GCJ/GIJ and Apache Harmony.
Firecat is written with the hope that Research of Server Technologies can be done
completely on a Free Software Stack.
