+mini_httpd is a small HTTP server. Its performance is not great, but for
+low or medium traffic sites it's quite adequate. It implements all the
+basic features of an HTTP server, including:
+
+ * GET, HEAD, and POST methods.
+ * CGI.
+ * Basic authentication.
+ * Security against ".." filename snooping.
+ * The common MIME types.
+ * Trailing-slash redirection.
+ * index.html, index.htm, index.cgi
+ * Directory listings.
+ * Multihoming / virtual hosting.
+ * Standard logging.
+ * Custom error pages.
+
+It can also be configured to do SSL/HTTPS and IPv6.
