bozohttpd (simple and lightweight HTTP server)
|
|
|
|
bozohttpd is a small and secure HTTP version 1.1 server. Its main
|
|
feature is the lack of features, reducing the code size and improving
|
|
verifiability. It supports CGI/1.1, HTTP/1.1, HTTP/1.0, HTTP/0.9, ~user
|
|
translations, virtual hosting support, as well as multiple IP-based
|
|
servers on a single machine. It is capable of serving pages via the
|
|
IPv6 protocol. bozohttpd features SSL support. By design, there is no
|
|
configuration file: all options are provided as command-line arguments.
|
|
|
|
bozohttpd is mainly intended to be run via inetd (see bozohttpd(8)),
|
|
but is capable of running as a standalone daemon (the -b option). There
|
|
is no startup script for daemon mode, but you can launch bozohttpd
|
|
from /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
|
|
|
|
bozohttpd has several features that can be disabled at compile time,
|
|
to reduce the binary size and/or to avoid security issues (features
|
|
that aren't included can't be exploited). See the file defines.default
|
|
for details on how to do this. By default, all features are enabled
|
|
(except maybe lua; see below).
|
|
|
|
Optional dependency: lua52 or lua53.
|
|
|
|
bozohttpd can be built with support for dynamic content using Lua. This
|
|
isn't needed for running CGI scripts that happen to be written in Lua.
|
|
It's for embedding a Lua interpreter in bozohttpd, in the style of
|
|
Apache's mod_php or mod_perl. As of bozohttpd-20181125, lua 5.1.x
|
|
(aka SBo's lua package) is no longer supported. You can set LUA in the
|
|
environment if the default isn't what you want:
|
|
|
|
LUA=yes - the default (autodetect; use highest version found, or none).
|
|
LUA=5.2 - use lua52, or fail if not found.
|
|
LUA=5.3 - use lua53, or fail if not found.
|
|
LUA=no - disable lua support, even if lua52 and/or lua53 are installed.
|
|
|
|
Without Lua support, the -L option to bozohttpd will not work.
