[about web server embedded in dnsmasq] 1. I don't see the need. 2. ...but if Simon think about it, I would propose libmicrohttpd [http://www.gnu.org/s/libmicrohttpd/]
I made some tests: 1. example http server running takes 272KB RAM (free - free), (second process didn't use any memory ;-) 2. 1728 bytes is a difference between "hello world" and http server (not stripped, 1352 bytes when stripped [5880 server - 4528 hello]) 3. library takes 60KB of disk space (70KB when compiled with SSL support), and does not need and libraries dnsmasq would not use anyhow (libc.so.6 and libpthread.so.0) 4. it's a library intended to be used that way - maybe some other programs will take advantage of it in future (none on my system for now) All that on amd64, Gentoo Linux, net-libs/libmicrohttpd-0.9.12 no ssl. -- jasiu
