It has an excellent reputation as being very fast and very simple. No forking or threads... it's just built around a select() call. The author has some good opinion pieces up explaining why he did it this way. According to Netcraft it is the 6th most popular webserver on the net, right after Zeus. Not bad considering how under-hyped it is. I believe it is public domain software. http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
