Good advice : i installed thttpd (which is said to support CGI) and the executable file's size is ~70 KB only : ATM i think this is really the best option.Glad to be helpful. As a self contained web server is doing a great job on my router, as seen until now ;-) .
This evening i built a test tarball, similar to those i used to build when developing the GTK frontend, to test the web frontend with thttpd in a real d-i environement.
The results were encouraging, even if a lot of work has to be done yet.There are many bugs in the code still awaiting to be fixed and major work is needed to support HTTP encoding/decoding and to correctly display non latin languages [1].
Anyway, developining this web frontend is fun.. :) Attilio [1] https://debian.polito.it/downloads/web_frontend/web_fe_lang.png
