Based on the SMT multithreading kernel from iMatix, the Xitami ['shi-tami']
web server is scalable and efficient, especially at high loads. Unlike Apache,
NCSA httpd, Netscape's Enterprise Server, or IIS, Xitami handles all
connections (except CGI) within a single process, without creating child
processes or multiple threads. The cost of a connection ('hit') is extremely
low.
Xitami supports the main HTTP operations: GET, POST, HEADER. It also supports
virtual hosts, CGI, clickable image maps, CERN/NCSA logging, log cycling,
protected directories, direct execution of Perl programs, and browser-based
configuration and management. It does not support secure sockets.
Xitami is available for multiple platforms (UNIX, OpenVMS, Win 3.x, Win 95,
Win NT, OS/2) and is free software. Please read the Xitami license agreement
for details.
