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 system that controls and/or monitors a machine with mechanical and/or electrical parts.

The HTTP server implements the HTTP protocol in order to allow communications with one or more local or remote users using a browser. The aim is to let users to interact with information provided by the embedded system via network, without using traditional peripherals required for local user interfaces.

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.
