Wiibrew: Wii Web Server, Net browser for the Wii 


A new Wiibrew program is out from developers Cboomf and Felix123. Called Wii Web Server, it's exactly what it's name says: it's a web server for the Wii. The program is still in its early stages of development so don't expect anything grand.

It's pretty exciting to see where this could lead. Perhaps a way to share Wiibrew directly from console to console? Or a way for the PC and the Wii to communicate and transfer files directly to each other's hard drives? Possibilities, possibilities.

At any rate, right now it's still pretty basic, but we'd love to see this take off. Be careful now - the download doesn't provide a readme, just the ELF file, so be sure to know what you're doing. Here's the changelog for the program since the first version came out:

alpha v0.21

  • Now detects the HTTP/1.x version as requested by the browser

alpha v0.2 - First fully web-page serving release

  • Now serves a built in test page
  • No longer needs telnet
  • Forced use of HTTP/1.1

alpha v0.11

  • Serves html to telnet (don't know why)
  • Can accept multiple connections (not at once)

alpha v0.1

  • Added Gamecube control menu control
  • Added GRRLIB logo
  • Added return to loader
  • Opens port 80
  • Opens a socket and allows for connection
  • Accepts connection on open socket at port 80

It's called the Wii Web Server so therefore it's a browser?.....yeah, that made sense! NOT!
