AOLserver

AOLserver is AOL's open source web server that is distributed under Mozilla Public License.
AOLserver was originally developed by NaviSoft under the name "NaviServer", but changed names when AOL bought the company in 1995. Philip Greenspun convinced America Online to open-source the program in 1999. It was discontinued since its latest release on February 2, 2009.
==Overview==
AOLserver is multithreaded, Tcl-enabled, and used for large scale, dynamic web sites. It was the first HTTP server program to combine multithreading, a built-in scripting language, and the pooling of persistent database connections. For database-backed Web sites. This feature enabled performance improvements of 100x compared to the standard practices at the time of CGI scripts that opened fresh database connections on every page load, making other HTTP server programs be able to achieve similar performance with a similar architecture.
