HTTPi/0.4 is an extensible, miniaturized HTTP/0.9, /1.0 and /1.1-compliant
webserver written 100% in Perl and running in under 6K with no additional
modules (doesn't require Socket.pm, Net.pm, LWP, or any networking support
other than what it has built-in). In fact, all you need is the Perl 5
executable and inetd, xinetd, or equivalent -- nothing else is required.
HTTPi is intended for systems with a need for a small, low-impact server
(it runs through inetd and doesn't spawn daemons), or for people who want
to roll their own web-applications from a bare bone algorithm. With its
small size, invocation time is minimal and execution time is extremely fast.
Supports:
* executable applications (similar to nph-cgi)
* HTTP/1.1 persistent connections
* CERN logging
Fixed in this version:
* CERN date format bug
* logging format bug
Added to this version:
* restriction matrix IP/useragent-based security
* multiple logging formats
* support for xinetd
* smart(er) configure script suite
See HTTPi in action, get documentation and download the current version and
past releases from
http://stockholm.ptloma.edu/httpi/
The current version will be uploaded to CPAN shortly.
