In the context of an HTTP server, this +means a single process can serve hundreds or even thousands of +clients, depending only on the operating system's configuration +and limitations. + +Medusa includes HTTP, FTP, and 'monitor' (remote python interpreter) +servers. Medusa can simultaneously support several instances of +either the same or different server types - for example you could +start up two HTTP servers, an FTP server, and a monitor server. +Then you could connect to the monitor server to control and manipulate +medusa while it is running. |
