bozohttpd (simple and lightweight HTTP server) bozohttpd is a small and secure HTTP version 1.1 server. Its main feature is the lack of features, reducing the code size and improving verifiability. It supports CGI/1.1, HTTP/1.1, HTTP/1.0, HTTP/0.9, ~user translations, virtual hosting support, as well as multiple IP-based servers on a single machine. It is capable of serving pages via the IPv6 protocol. bozohttpd features SSL support. By design, there is no configuration file: all options are provided as command-line arguments. bozohttpd is mainly intended to be run via inetd (see bozohttpd(8)), but is capable of running as a standalone daemon (the -b option). There is no startup script for daemon mode, but you can launch bozohttpd from /etc/rc.d/rc.local. bozohttpd has several features that can be disabled at compile time, to reduce the binary size and/or to avoid security issues (features that aren't included can't be exploited). See the file defines.default for details on how to do this. By default, all features are enabled (except maybe lua; see below). Optional dependency: lua. bozohttpd can be built with support for dynamic content using Lua. This isn't needed for running CGI scripts that happen to be written in Lua. It's for embedding a Lua interpreter in bozohttpd, in the style of Apache's mod_php or mod_perl. If lua is installed, it will be autodetected. If you want to build without it, export LUA=no in the environment. Without Lua support, the -L option to bozohttpd will not work.
