microhttp daemon

Version:

Status: Done

Info

• Handles sash shell scripts, standard bFLT binaries for CGI
• Runs under inetd, so no forking is needed.
• Does NOT post-process the CGI script output, so no buffering is necessary
• The only requirement for CGI's is that they run in NPH mode (i.e. include the HTTP status line at the top of their output).
• Not really fast, but very stable and failure-resilient.
• Auto-directory indexing.
• Takes up only 50kB in cramfs.
• Refuses POST requests (currently), but only since I've not tested it yet. POST should work by simply changing the REQUEST_METHOD check.

History

Built to replace (crappy, fat) mathopd with micro_httpd + CGI extension.
