Is there a small and portable one you recommend?
- hawski 2y agoI personally like busybox httpd, because sometimes it already is there.
- wannacboatmovie 2y agomini_httpd, merecat, [a-z]httpd (choose one), OpenBSD httpd is nice but not portable. Your OS likely has a a built-in web server. Hell, Microsoft shipped something called Personal Web Server with Windows 95/98 nearly 30 years ago. Stop inventing new static web servers. Contribute patches to an existing project if you feel so inclined but this has been a solved problem for decades by very intelligent people who understand how the Internet works. We've gone full circle from bloated behemoths like Netscape, to serving from kernel mode (http.sys, Tux Web Server, etc.) and back again.
- whiterknight 2y agoThese responses are telling me there is in fact room in the market. Take pdf viewers for example. I hated all of them until I found Zarthura. I’m glad someone took the time to make that.
