What Is shttpd?

The echo-httpd, redir-httpd, and cgi-httpd programs are HTTP daemons designed to complement publicfile.

The echo-httpd program echos HTTP requests.

The echo-config program configures echo-httpd.

The redir-httpd program redirects HTTP requests via cdb lookup.

The redir-config program configures redir-httpd.

The cgi-httpd and cgiuser-httpd programs execute a cgi script.

The cgi-config and cgiuser-config programs configure cgi-httpd and cgiuser-httpd, respectively.

The cgi-dispatch program executes a CGI program specified by the environment variable PATH_INFO.

The constant-httpd program prints the same file for each HTTP request.

The constant-config program configures constant-httpd.

Each instance of an shttpd daemon listens on a separate address, in a chroot directory (except for cgiuser-httpd), typically running as a nonprivileged user.
