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. +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. + +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 when the script is run, bozohttpd will be built with +Lua support automatically. If you have lua installed but don't want to +build bozohttpd with it, export LUA=no in the environment before running +the script. + +Without Lua support, the -L option to bozohttpd will not work. |
