 The **WSF_REQUEST** gives access to the incoming data; the class provides features to get information such as request method, form data, query parameters, uploaded files, HTTP request headers, and hostname of the client among others. 
 
 The **WSF_RESPONSE** provides features to define the response with information such as HTTP status codes (10x,20x, 30x, 40x, and 50x), response headers (Content-Type, Content-Length, etc.) and obviously the body of the message itself.

+## The EiffelWeb standalone connector
+
+It provides a standalone httpd server for the EiffelWeb framework.
+It implements HTTP/1.1 with persistent connection, concurrent connection, ...
+
+To easily set the standalone connector, see class `WSF_STANDALONE_SERVICE_OPTIONS`.
+
+### Main settings:
+
+* `port`: Listening port number (defaut: 80).
+* `max_concurrent_connections`: maximum of concurrent connections (default: 100)
+* `max_tcp_clients`: Listen on socket for at most `max_tcp_clients` connections (default: 100)
+* `socket_timeout`: Amount of seconds the server waits for receipts and transmissions during communications. With timeout of 0, socket can wait for ever. (default: 60)
+* `socket_recv_timeout`: Amount of seconds the server waits for receiving data during communications. With timeout of 0, socket can waits for ever. (default: 5)
+* `keep_alive_timeout`: Persistent connection timeout. Number of seconds the server waits after a request has been served before it closes the connection (default: 5)
+* `max_keep_alive_requests`: Maximum number of requests allowed per persistent connection. To disable KeepAlive, set `max_keep_alive_requests` to `0`. To have no limit, set `max_keep_alive_requests` to `-1` (default: 300).
+
+* `is_secure`: check SSL certificate?
+* `secure_certificate`: path to SSL certificate.
+* `secure_certificate_key`: certificate key
+
+* `verbose`: display verbose output (Default: false)
+
+See also `WGI_STANDALONE_CONSTANTS` for default values.
