RFS: hiawatha
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "hiawatha".
* Package name : hiawatha
Version : 6.15
Upstream Author : Hugo Leisink <hugo@leisink.net>
* URL : http://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/
* License : GPL
Section : web
It builds these binary packages:
hiawatha - Advanced and secure webserver for Unix
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hiawatha
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hiawatha/hiawatha_6.15.dsc
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. 'Why another
webserver?' you might think. Well, I wasn't satisfied with the other
open source webservers (Apache, Lighttpd, nginx, Cherokee, etc), because
they are too big, have a non-intuitive or even complex configuration
syntax, have severe security issues (even as we speak), are not stable
or not actively maintained. With Hiawatha, I focus on building a secure
webserver which is easy to configure. You don't have to be a CGI or HTTP
expert in order to get Hiawatha running. It's really easy when you have
a simple website. When you want the more fancy stuff (CGI in a jail,
XSLT, URL rewriting) things are still quite easy in Hiawatha. Talking
about URL rewriting.... you think Apache has good URL rewriting
abilities? Wait till you see what Hiawatha can do. Afraid for XSS, CSRF
and the recent Apache DoS exploit? Not anymore when you switch to
Hiawatha. I hope this makes at least one of you interested in my project
:) Thanks!
Kind regards
Hugo Leisink
