server object to store information common to all JavaScript applications running on the web server.
server object when the server starts and destroys it when the server stops. Every application on a server shares the same server object. Use the server object to maintain global data for the entire server. Many applications can run on a server simultaneously, and the server object lets them share information.
The runtime engine creates a server object for each distinct Netscape HTTPD process running on the server.
The properties listed below are read-only properties that are initialized automatically when a server object is created. These properties provide information about the server process. In addition to these predefined properties, you can create custom properties.
You can lock the server object to ensure that different applications do not change its properties simultaneously. When one application locks the server object, other applications must wait before they can lock it.

server object properties:
<P>server.host = <SERVER>write(server.host);</SERVER>The preceding code displays information such as the following:
<BR>server.hostname = <SERVER>write(server.hostname);</SERVER>
<BR>server.protocol = <SERVER>write(server.protocol);</SERVER>
<BR>server.port = <SERVER>write(server.port);</SERVER>
server.host = www.myWorld.com
server.hostname = www.myWorld.com:85
server.protocol = http:
server.port = 85
client, project, request
host property specifies a portion of a URL. The host property is a substring of the hostname property. The hostname property is the concatenation of the host and port properties, separated by a colon. When the port property is 80 (the default), the host property is the same as the hostname property.
See Section 3.1 of RFC 1738 (http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc1738.html) for complete information about the hostname and port.
server.hostname, server.port, server.protocol
hostname property specifies a portion of a URL. The hostname property is the concatenation of the host and port properties, separated by a colon. When the port property is 80 (the default), the host property is the same as the hostname property.
See Section 3.1 of RFC 1738 (http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc1738.html) for complete information about the hostname and port.
server.host, server.port, server.protocol
lock()
Lock, server.lock
port property specifies a portion of the URL. The port property is a substring of the hostname property. The hostname property is the concatenation of the host and port properties, separated by a colon.
The default value of the port property is 80. When the port property is set to the default, the values of the host and hostname properties are the same.
See Section 3.1 of RFC 1738 (http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc1738.html) for complete information about the port.
server.host, server.hostname, server.protocol
protocol property specifies the beginning of the URL, up to and including the first colon. The protocol indicates the access method of the URL. For example, a protocol of "http:" specifies HyperText Transfer Protocol.
The protocol property represents the scheme name of the URL. See Section 2.1 of RFC 1738 (http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc1738.html) for complete information about the protocol.
