Hey, Apache can do plenty for you, but if you're after something a little lighter have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_web_servers One of the smallest is micro_httpd[1]. cheers, Owen. footnotes: -- [1] $ aptitude show micro-httpd [snip] Description: 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 All in 150 lines of code. micro_httpd can also be used to serve HTTPS by wrapping it with stunnel.
