The Internet standards body W3C has updated Jigsaw, its reference Web server platform.

Version 2.2.2 of the Java-based Web server can be downloaded from w3.org/Jigsaw.

New in this release, in addition to bug fixes, are SSL (secure socket layer) support, HTTP compliance fixes, WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) support and performance enhancements. You can read the full details in the Release Notes

Jigsaw is a W3C Open Source project that began back in 1996. The idea behind the project was for the standards body to build a 'premier experimental platform for the Internet community', in the words of the W3C. Using an object-oriented approach to development, it is designed to be more efficient and easily extendable.
