This project has the same name and similar function as this one:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/dhttpd
But the one here at SourceForge claims to support CGI scripting, whereas the Ubuntu one explicitly says, "Doesn't run external programs (no cgi-bin support)." That's what I want--just a file server.
I installed the Cygwin version of the Ubuntu dhttpd on my (Windows) work PC to share stuff with my coworkers on our LAN. Its just what I need. Sooner or later IT will discover what I'm doing and shrill that I'm putting the whole company at risk, but I intend to use the no-scripting and no-upload defense.
The Ubuntu changelog goes back to 1997, so I gather these two projects have separate origins.
