XS-HTTPD is a WWW server that has the following features:
|
|
|
|
- It is pronounced as "access-HTTP-daemon"
|
|
- It is SMALL (very small in fact: a factor two to three smaller than
|
|
normal servers on disk and in memory)
|
|
- It is FAST (because it is so small and does not do unnecessary things)
|
|
- Uses very little CPU time
|
|
- Configurable (configuration compiled in to make it small, but largely
|
|
overridable on the command line)
|
|
- Runs user CGI binaries under their own user ID
|
|
- Gets users' pages under their own user ID, allowing them to really
|
|
have protected pages (using the built-in authentication mechanism)
|
|
- Does not fork for every connection (has a fixed number of servers),
|
|
only to replace a lost server (in case of timeouts).
|
|
- Comes with some other useful programs
|
|
- Offers Server-Side Includes for many common tasks, including built-in
|
|
page counters (text or graphical)
|
|
- Supports PHP and other interpreted file formats
|
|
- Supports automatic decompression to save diskspace and bandwidth
|
|
- Serves SSL (https) and http connections through the same daemon
|
|
- Full support for IPv6
