Worked in Digital Ayr plant from 1977 until Compaq shut it. Left HP in Erskine in 2005 for Cardiff. Now working on the OS that is second best to VMS, Linux.
Got a 433au workstation with a micky mouse web site using hobbyist kit and the ECR6 DECthreads http server.
What is the ECR6 http server? I have heard of the OSU one.
You may wish to look at WASD which is still actively developed and good for smaller VMS systems.

A lot of people know it as the OSU HTTPD Server originated by David Jones. It's the one I first used, but I've migrated to WASD (Mark Davis, Australia) and Apache. SSL works better than with OSU. Several of my scripts still use the OSU htbin interface!.
There's some good documentation on the different OpenVMS Web Servers in "OpenVMS with Apache, OSU, and WASD" by Alan Winston.
