Annotation of embedaddon/thttpd/README, revision 1.1.1.1
1.1 misho 1: thttpd - tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
2: version 2.25b of 29dec2003
3:
4: thttpd is a simple, small, portable, fast, and secure HTTP server.
5:
6: Simple: It handles only the minimum necessary to implement HTTP/1.1.
7:
8: Small: See the size comparison chart at
9: http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/notes.html#sizes. It also has a
10: very small run-time size, since it does not fork and is very careful about
11: memory allocation.
12:
13: Portable: It compiles cleanly on FreeBSD 2.x/3.x, SunOS 4.1.x, Solaris 2.x,
14: BSD/OS 2.x, Linux 1.2.x, OSF/1 (on a 64-bit Alpha), and no doubt many others.
15:
16: Fast: In typical use it's about as fast as the best full-featured servers
17: (Apache, NCSA, Netscape). Under extreme load it's much faster.
18:
19: Secure: It goes to great lengths to protect the web server machine
20: against attacks and breakins from other sites.
21:
22: It also has one extremely useful feature (URL-traffic-based throttling) that
23: no other server currently has.
24:
25: See the manual entry for more details. See the INSTALL file for
26: configuration and installation instructions. Check the web page
27: (http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/) for updates, or add yourself to
28: the mailing list by sending a "subscribe" to thttpd-announce-request@mail.acme.com.
