Something for those looking to serve HTML or rich media content via embedded devices. The boast of the Danish company Nabto is that their technology enables you to "create a web server in 953 bytes".
The company describes their transfer protocol as "HTTP 2.0" or "HTTP for devices". It aims to replace existing access solutions such as GSM/3G industrial modem access, closed telecom network services (MPLS) and proprietary self built systems.

We address the fact that regular web technology was built around a strong server and a weak client, while in the embedded world, it's the other way around.Find out more about Nabto at Embedded Live >>
Nabto fuses the best of VoIP and HTTP technologies in a browser recognizable, low-bandwidth nabto:// protocol, creating a perfect fit for the embedded sceario on even small SOC platforms; all graphics and HTML rendering are moved from the low resource embedded web server to the high resource browser.
Instead of having a thermostat send you 5 KB HTML and graphics to illustrate the temperature, the server only needs to transmit the temperature in a single byte. The browser receives all the large-footprint data through a third-party base station and HTML device drivers. This process works with embedded web servers as small as 953 bytes.
