10 Description: tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
11 thttpd is a simple, small, portable, fast, and secure HTTP server.
14 It handles only the minimum necessary to implement HTTP/1.1. Well, maybe a little more than the minimum.
16 See the comparison chart. It also has a very small run-time size, since it does not fork and is very careful about memory allocation.
18 It compiles cleanly on most any Unix-like OS, specifically including FreeBSD, SunOS 4, Solaris 2, BSD/OS, Linux, OSF.
20 In typical use it's about as fast as the best full-featured servers (Apache, NCSA, Netscape). Under extreme load it's much faster.
22 It goes to great lengths to protect the web server machine against attacks and breakins from other sites.
24 It also has one extremely useful feature (URL-traffic-based throttling) that no other server currently has. Plus, it supports IPv6 out of the box, no patching required
