Re: [Devil-linux-develop] thttpd

Hi

The www.acme.com site also includes a cli interface, something similar to
webmin.  Maybe the author could be encouraged to complete the project.

More on webservers:
One commonly needed use for a webserver is to run it as an httpd virtual host
re-director as part of a firewall/router for single ip address sites with
multiple webservers on the internal net.

I think this is the page:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#namevirtualhost

Apache 2 may have even more capabilities.

From it:
The NameVirtualHost directive is a required directive if you want to configure
name-based virtual hosts.

Although addr can be hostname it is recommended that you always use an IP
address or wildcard, e.g.

NameVirtualHost 111.22.33.44 

With the NameVirtualHost directive you specify the IP address on which the
server will receive requests for the name-based virtual hosts. This will
usually be the address to which your name-based virtual host names resolve. In
cases where a firewall or other proxy receives the requests and forwards them
on a different IP address to the server, you must specify the IP address of the
physical interface on the machine which will be servicing the requests.

The acme site seems to have a form of webmin, an "experimental" web cli,
http://www.acme.com/cmd/

Maybe the author could be encouraged to finish this and package it with thttpd.
 The thttpd memory footprint seems almost too good to believe.
