thttpd

thttpd is a simple, small, portable, fast, and secure HTTP server that really gets the job done. If you're looking for an easy-to-use server that doesn't take up much space or resources, you've found it!

What Makes thttpd Simple?

This server handles just the basics needed to run HTTP/1.1. Sure, it might do a little more than just the essentials, but that’s what keeps it user-friendly and straightforward.

A Small Server That Packs a Punch

If you check out the comparison chart, you’ll see just how small thttpd is compared to other servers. It has a tiny run-time size because it doesn't fork processes and is careful with memory usage.

Portable Across Platforms

The cool thing about thttpd is that it compiles easily on almost any Unix-like operating system. This includes popular ones like FreeBSD, SunOS 4, Solaris 2, BSD/OS, Linux, and OSF.

Speed Like No Other

When it comes to speed, in regular use, thttpd performs almost as well as the best full-featured servers out there like Apache or NCSA. But when things get busy? It's much faster under heavy loads!

Your Security Buddy

Security is a big deal with thttpd! It goes above and beyond to keep your web server safe from attacks or unauthorized access.

A Unique Feature Just for You!

This server has one super handy feature called URL-traffic-based throttling which no other server currently offers! Plus, it supports IPv6 right out of the box—no need for any patches!

What's New in This Release?

• Moved fdwatch initialization before chroot so /dev/poll can work properly.


• Made several cleanups and fixes to fdwatch (thanks Adam Zell!).
