     micro_httpd - really small HTTP server

micro_httpd is a very small 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 about 200 lines of code.

See the manual entry for more details.

To build: If you're on a SysV-like machine (which includes old Linux systems but not new Linux systems), edit the Makefile and uncomment the SYSVLIBS line. Otherwise, just do a make.
