|
| - thttpd - tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
|
| - version 2.25b of 29dec2003
|
| -
|
| -thttpd is a simple, small, portable, fast, and secure HTTP server.
|
| -
|
| -Simple: It handles only the minimum necessary to implement HTTP/1.1.
|
| -
|
| -Small: See the size comparison chart at
|
| -http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/notes.html#sizes. It also has a
|
| -very small run-time size, since it does not fork and is very careful about
|
| -memory allocation.
|
| -
|
| -Portable: It compiles cleanly on FreeBSD 2.x/3.x, SunOS 4.1.x, Solaris 2.x,
|
| -BSD/OS 2.x, Linux 1.2.x, OSF/1 (on a 64-bit Alpha), and no doubt many others.
|
| -
|
| -Fast: In typical use it's about as fast as the best full-featured servers
|
| -(Apache, NCSA, Netscape). Under extreme load it's much faster.
|
| -
|
| -Secure: It goes to great lengths to protect the web server machine
|
| -against attacks and breakins from other sites.
|
| -
|
| -It also has one extremely useful feature (URL-traffic-based throttling) that
|
| -no other server currently has.
|
| -
|
| -See the manual entry for more details. See the INSTALL file for
|
| -configuration and installation instructions. Check the web page
|
| -(http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/) for updates, or add yourself to
|
| -the mailing list by sending a "subscribe" to thttpd-announce-request@mail.acme.com.
