SBL2eX question about adding external EEprom for Web Site

Post by seulater »

I know that the SBL2eX is not geared for what i want to do with it. I need to have it serve up a rather large web site, about 250k. I know it is limited in FLASH, but could i add an extern SPI 50mhz EEprom to store my web page and then have it pull the site from here rather than to pull it from the default internal ?

Possible, yes.
Easy no
Hard no.
Very hard yes.

I wrote the SBL2E sever and if I had to do what you describe I'd start over.
SB70LC might be a better choice.

The Web server in the SBL2E operates by knowing the list of possible webpages as it starts parsing the response.
It never holds the full http request it parses it as it comes in in string recognizing state machine.
The entire result of the http request is held in 1 or two DWORDS of state.

Posts are similar as well the SBL2E post parsing is a call back function that delivers each posted variable as
delivered so even for posts it does not hold the whole request.
