In this article you will see how you can publish your Windows desktop application on the web. Winflector has a very potent feature – you can use the Winflector HTTP Server with the HTML5 Client in order to make your software available on a webpage to any HTML5 enabled browser. This way, you can migrate your desktop application to a web application without any additional work.

The first step is publishing your application through the Winflector configurator in the Applications window. Now you need to enable the Winflector HTTP Server.
