<quote> - Boa/thttpd - Both small, but unmaintained for a while? - Monkeyd - very lightweight and pretty functional. Maintained. Appears to be the modern ultra-micro webserver of choice? - nginx - Who would have thought it was actually so small... 380KB for a reasonably standard install, 260KB for a minimal build. Well maintained with a development goal of being fast, secure and low memory </quote> Hi,
I too tried a few "tiny" web-servers, including Monkey HTTP. What Monkey lacks (for now) is an 'Alias' directive. I also found Mongoose: http://code.google.com/p/mongoose/ Pretty straightforward and I liked it very much. I also tried lighttpd and will soon try out nginx. For what I originally needed, sifting through Apache's docs and then cooking up a small configuration file was sufficient for me and I am living with it for now. I am definitely keeping an eye out for the following: Monkey HTTP Daemon: http://www.monkey-project.com/ Mongoose Web Server: http://code.google.com/p/mongoose/ Nginx: http://nginx.net/ LIGHTTPD: http://www.lighttpd.net/ P.S. I did have an (evil?) :D thought of investigating how I could go about merging the two file source code within 'dnsmasq', but that will have wait for now (Hardly any time) :) Regards, Shantanu
