Hiawatha (A secure and advanced webserver)
Hiawatha is a web server for Unix and has been built with security in
mind. This resulted in a highly secure web server, in both code and
features.
Hiawatha supports many web and HTTP features such as CGI/FASTCGI, HTTP
authentication, virtual host support, request pipelining, keep alive
connections, URL rewriting and many more.
Notes:
To use this package the user and group 'hiawatha' are required.
You can create them with:
# groupadd -g 259 hiawatha
# useradd -u 259 -g 259 -c "Hiawatha HTTP Server" -d / \
-s /bin/false hiawatha
By default:
* Hiawatha's daemon will listen on the network interface
127.0.0.1:80, and it can write temporary files inside
/var/db/hiawatha
* The web root directory is /var/hiawatha with index.html being
the default start file.
