Hiawatha (A secure and advanced Web server)
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/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 is going to be listening in the network interface
127.0.0.1:80, and it can write temporary files inside
/var/lib/hiawatha
* The Web root directory is /var/hiawatha with index.html being
the default start file.
