About:
Cheetah is a very minimal Web server for testing small local sites, or to continue to serve some content while configuring your primary Web server. It has very few features (and is single-threaded, non-forking for now), except that it will serve files in a directory under a user-specified port, does not require root access, and can serve Last Modified information to aid caching.

YAWS??
by Michael Shigorin - Mar 31st 2003 23:56:27
Hey but aren't several hundreds of available web servers just enough?
Personally, my favorite lightweight/instantly-available/fast&simple
web server is Boa (0.92 branch, specifically).
It's already multiplexing and all the stuff, so why waste time on
duplicating what is already done better?
No offense, just sad to see the "yet another" effort.

If creating software for the purpose of learning (and then giving it out so
other people can learn) is sad, then I'm one unhappy bastard. :-(
One of the nice things about this piece of code is size - 348 lines.
Somebody that's new to programming can hopefully easily understand the
software and it may just help someone else learn to code.

Hey no :) I meant "time spent on re-creating the commodity code", the one
that's been written of so many times already.
I almost got that way when I needed to do arbitrary precision maths for
B.Sc. (I'm M.Sc. ;-), and almost sat down and wrote some chunked-number
stuff for myself. But then got kindly pointed to GNU MP library (libgmp),
and that was just superior to *anything* I could do that way.
It isn't that simple, but if I wanted to learn the inside, I'd still have
a bunch of other, less advanced (or more focused ;-) projects to
examine.
That's what I meant; you can also look at the article ``Freshmeat's stance
on "trivial" software'' in FM section.
Good luck!

Yes, and if someone needs an extremely robust, reliable server I'll gladly
send them to Apache. If they want to see a very short implementation of
an HTTP daemon that they can comprehend in one sitting they can use
this.
Trivial software, I don't know... I don't think there's much software that
I consider trivial (of the open-source variety). Besides, I had to justify
this entry to the Freshmeat editors and apparently it's not too trivial
:-)

Create a web server it's one of the most interesting thing that you can do,
you can learn so much...no all like's write one but it's a good
experience...
