Small Web Server

[Paugam Luc]

Hi,

Have a look at http://www.boa.org. It is thin and very fast (really
dedicated to embedded platforms).

Boa is a single-tasking HTTP server. That means that unlike traditional web
servers, it does not fork for each incoming connection, nor does it fork
many copies of itself to handle multiple connections. It internally
multiplexes all of the ongoing HTTP connections, and forks only for CGI
programs (which must be separate processes), automatic directory generation,
and automatic file gunzipping. Preliminary tests show Boa is capable of
handling several thousand hits per second on a 300 MHz Pentium and dozens of
hits per second on a lowly 20 MHz 386/SX.

Hope this help.
