Create a C++ function to find available port for Webserver on Windows

We want to run a small webserver on Windows to preview html pages generated with our software. The Webserver is Xitami - [login to view URL] We need a C++ function which 1: loops though an application defined set of obscure port numbers in the dynamically generated Port range 2: checks if it can find a port which is available for the Xitami http server ([login to view URL])to connect to. 3: returns the first port found that can be used for Xitami to connect to. Also, provide a simple test harness console exe for the function which calls the above function with a set of ports (specified on the cmd line?) and then launches Xitami and connects it to the first available port found. The function must work on Windows from Windows 98 up to XP as otherwise it will not be useful to us. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source well documented code of all work done. 2) Clearly defined and documented function 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows? (depending on the nature? of the deliverables): a)? For web sites or? other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software? installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). ## Platform Windows 98 - XP
