+darkhttpd is a simple and secure static HTTP server.
+
+Features:
+
+* Single binary, no other files.

+* No messing around with config files -- all you have to specify is
+  the www root.

+* Small memory footprint.
+* Event loop, single-threaded -- no fork() or pthreads.
+* Generates directory listings.
+* Supports HTTP GET and HEAD requests.
+* Supports Range / partial content. (Try streaming music files or resuming
+  a download.)
+* Supports If-Modified-Since.
+* Supports Keep-Alive connections.
+* Can serve 301 redirects based on Host header.
+* Uses sendfile() on FreeBSD, Solaris and Linux.
+* BSD license.
+

+* Impervious to /../ sniffing.
+* Times out idle connections.

+
