For a headless device built without a user interface, a web server application provides an effective mechanism for the user to access the device to set up and configure settings needed for the device to operate.

This chapter works through an exercise showing the steps needed to develop a web server application that enables the user to access the device using a web browser remotely to explore the device’s registry.
