micro_httpd - really small HTTP server

micro_httpd is a very small Unix-based HTTP server. It runs from inetd, which means its performance is poor. But for low-traffic sites, it's quite adequate. It implements all the basic features of an HTTP server, including:

• Security against ".." filename snooping.
• The common MIME types.
• Trailing-slash redirection.
• index.html
• Directory listings.

micro_httpd can also be used to serve HTTPS by wrapping it with stunnel. Instructions are included.

Other tiny and/or weird web servers (all run from inetd):

• shell script web server
• dd/sh web server
• PostScript web server
• awk web server
