Short: Thttpd v2.23beta1 - a tiny but fast WEB server Author: Jef Poskanzer (jef@acme.com) Type: dev/gg Architecture: m68k-amigaos Uploaded: louise@louise.amiga.hu (LouiSe) Url: http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd Ported by LouiSe (only fork->vfork changes and 2 small #ifndef AMIGA requires for the Amiga version...) more info and other AMIGA ports at: http://louise.amiga.hu ----------------------------------------- thttpd - tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server version 2.23beta1 of 26may2002 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.
