An '''embedded HTTP server''' is an [[HTTP server]] used in an [[embedded system]].
The HTTP server is usually implemented as a [[software component]] of an [[Application software|application]] (embedded) system that controls and/or monitors a machine with mechanical and/or electrical parts.<ref>{{
The HTTP server implements the [[Hypertext Transfer Protocol|HTTP]] [[Communications protocol|protocol]] in order to allow communications with one or more local or remote [[User (computing)|users]] using a [[Web browser|browser]]. The aim is to let users to interact with information provided by the embedded system ([[Web user interface|user interface]], data monitoring, [[Data logger|data logging]], data configuration, etc.) via [[Computer network|network]], without using traditional peripherals required for local user interfaces ([[Display device|display]], [[Computer keyboard|keyboard]], etc.).<ref>{{
In some cases the functionalities provided via HTTP server allow also program-to-program communications, e.g. to retrieve data logged about the monitored machine, etc.
