Fnord

fnord - yet another small httpd

Features

Small! (13k static Linux-x86 binary without CGI, 18k with CGI)
Fast! (see this document), uses mmap (and on Linux, sendfile)
Scalable! (see this plot from Linux 2.5.50, measured using this Linux 2.4+ specific hack. The fnord plot ends at 8000 connections because I couldn't open more connections before fnord kept timing out the old ones)
connection keep-alive
el-cheapo virtual domains (similar to thttpd)
IPv6 support (through tcpserver)
CGI (through pipes, not temp files like Apache)
Content-Range (not the full specs, just a-b or a- byte ranges)
transparent content negotiation (will serve foo.html.gz if foo.html was asked for and browser indicates it understands deflate, same for foo.png for foo.gif and image/png)
Now also with directory index generation (-DDIR_LIST).
