Servers
- In these sessions, we have been using the nsbasic.com server.
- The students will be using the Ministry's servers.
- These servers need to be able to process http requests to run apps.
- They also need to support ftp so apps can be uploaded to them.
- Files that end in .appcache need to be served with mime type text/manifest.
- To test this, use http://web-sniffer.net/.
