pytest-localserver is a plugin for the pytest testing framework which
enables you to test server connections locally.
Sometimes monkeypatching urllib2.urlopen() just does not cut it, for
instance if you work with urllib2.Request, define your own
openers/handlers or work with httplib. In these cases it may come in
handy to have an HTTP server running locally which behaves just like
the real thing. Well, look no further!
Madsonic is a web-based media streamer and jukebox fork of Subsonic.
Madsonic instantly transports your media to any HTTP connected device
regardless of bitrate. You can stream to multiple players simultaneously.
Subsonic is designed to handle very large music collections. By using
transcoder plug-ins, Subsonic supports on-the-fly conversion and streaming
of virtually any audio format, including MP3, OGG, WMA, FLAC, APE and more.
The sitemap_gen.py script analyzes your web server and generates one or
more Sitemap files. These files are XML listings of content you make
available on your web server. The files can then be directly submitted
to Google.
This is a Squeezebox Server plugin to add lazy search capabilities.
Lazy searching allows for much faster entry of search text by allowing
you to forget about multi-tapping and instead just press each of the
remote control buttons once for each of the letters in the text,
whatever position the letter appears in above the button.
Robot Framework remote servers allow hosting test libraries on different
processes or machines than Robot Framework itself is running on. This
version is implemented in Python and supports also Jython (JVM) and
IronPython (.NET). See remote library interface documentation for more
information about the remote interface in general as well as for a list
of remote server implementations in other programming languages.
rcpd is a RCP server intended specifically for router
or network device clients. It is used to transfer
configurations, boot images, and kernels images
(eg: IOS) to the devices.
These files are often tranfered with TFTP, but TFTP
has reliability and speed issues and file size
limitations due to it's protocol specification and
underlying transport; while RCP is not affected.
saslauthd is a daemon process that handles plaintext authentication
requests on behalf of the SASL library.
The server fulfills two roles: it isolates all code requiring
superuser privileges into a single process, and it can be used to
provide proxy authentication services to clients that do not
understand SASL based authentication.
aprsd is a server daemon that provides Internet gateway and client access
to amateur radio APRS packet data.
This is CFS, Matt Blaze's Cryptographic File System. It provides
transparent encryption and decryption of selected directory trees.
It is implemented as a user-level NFS server and thus does not
require any kernel modifications.
For an overview of how to use it, read "${PREFIX}/share/doc/cfs/notes.ms"
and the manual pages. There is a paper describing CFS at:

Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server. It
is designed to provide DNS and, optionally, DHCP, to a small network. It can
serve the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS. The DHCP
server integrates with the DNS server and allows machines with DHCP-allocated
addresses to appear in the DNS with names configured either in each host or in
a central configuration file. Dnsmasq supports static and dynamic DHCP leases
and BOOTP/TFTP/PXE for network booting of diskless machines.
Dnsmasq is targeted at home networks using NAT and connected to the internet
via a modem, cable-modem or ADSL connection but would be a good choice for any
smallish network (up to 1000 clients is known to work) where low resource use
and ease of configuration are important. -- Simon Kelley
