Bug#493645: ITP: nostromo -- small, simple, fast and secure httpd



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Kai Hendry <hendry@iki.fi>

* Package name    : nostromo
  Version         : 1.8.6
  Upstream Author : Marcus Glocker <marcus@nazgul.ch>
* URL             : http://www.nazgul.ch/dev.html
* License         : MIT
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : small, simple, fast and secure httpd

 Runs as a single process, handling connections with select. For CGIs
 and directory listing it forks. Supports HTTP/1.1, CGI/1.1, chroot,
 setuid, basic authentication, SSL, IPv6, custom repsonses, aliases, and
 virtual hosts.


A prerelease test version of the package resides on:
http://hendry.iki.fi/debian/unstable

Seems smaller than lighttpd and looks on first impressions more secure
than thttpd. At least nicer looking code. I have in mind embedding
nhttpd on small low powered devices.

-- System Information:
Debian Release: lenny/sid
  APT prefers unstable
  APT policy: (500, 'unstable')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
