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.
