In the WN server the method of operation is unique and easy. The server is not based on the file extensions but a separate database called "index" is maintained in which the filename, extension, type, security, information etc. are entered. All requests or references are checked with the entries in the index. A file is loaded only when there is a reference and permission for execution or service. The WN doesnot serve files unless specifically instructed by the index.
The database called index makes the process of searching the website very easy. This is inline with the basic objective of WN to create an easy-to-search website. It becomes possible for the end users to search for designed data in many different ways and in different portions of the files.
Most important and notable point is that the security is implemented by the process of minimization rather than by authorization. The concept is as clear as that if the malicious users cannot see it, they would not know what to hack.
WN was one of the original web servers developed in this line. It is not just one of the nicest web servers available, but combine the features of stability with decent security features.
