  Description     : Yet Another Web Server

Yaws is a HTTP high perfomance 1.1 webserver.

Yaws is entirely written in Erlang, futhermore it is a multithreaded
webserver where one Erlang light weight process is used to handle each
client.

Yaws has excellent capabilies to generate dynamic content. Erlang code
can be embedded into the HTML code in manner similar to php. As matter
of fact, the ad-hockery of php was one of major reasons I started the
Yaws project.

Furthermore, Yaws has excellent performance and is able to ship
several thousands of dynamically generated pages per second.
