Could you give me the cppcms_run arguments?
1.) cppcms_run -h markusbyte -s /hello hello.fcgi -c config.txt
2.) cppcms_run -h markusbyte -s / hello.fcgi -c config.txt

1. line works here (below hello), but for 2. line nginx gives a 404 on any
request.

Ok, at the moment it would be enough if I get any server running with
root "/".

I will take a look at it.

Interesting, your code looks like a complete duplicate of mine (or the other
way round) :-)

I also used a map for the mime_types checking against extension() and for
copying I also used the read and write and even the same buffer size :-)

However I plan for the future to use shared-mime-info, which has much more
complete information about mime-types.

Why is this internal file server needed?

If there are performance issues I can use the X-Send-File feature, thank you
for the hint.

Ohh, thank you, I think I can use that markdown2html. Supporting a wiki
syntax is the first extra feature on my wish list.
