Surfboard HTTPd Description

Surfboard HTTPd provides a simple HTTP server. Surfboard HTTPd provides a simple HTTP server.Surfboard is a simple HTTP server. It supports directory indexing, CGI, and custom CGI handlers (e.g. for PHP). It currently has no support for any method except GET, but everything else is fully functional.Surfboard is incredibly small, very reliable, and easy to use (mainly because of its simplicity). Here's the PR: Here are some key features of "Surfboard HTTPd":· Simplicity - The goal of Surfboard is to avoid having to play the classic Apache game of "hunt the option." While capable of keeping people amused for hours, it really isn't helpful when you want to host a website. · Regular file serving and indexing - Quick and simple, but fully-featured. Multiple and absolute index pages are supported. · CGI scripting(Beta versions only) - No POST support as yet (coming soon), but an otherwise almost complete CGI 1.1 implementation. See the finger CGI demo · Extensible(Beta) - CGI handlers can be set in the config file, enabling scripting languages such as PHP (www.php.net) to be used (as I do here) · Highly configurable - Everything from index pages to what you do and don't want to see in the logs can be specified · Full logging - everything that goes can be logged. You can specify whether you want it in the logfile or not, but it's there. · Multiple simultaneous transfers - of course! Apparently not all simple httpds can. Beats me why...What's New in This Release:· Fixed a buffer overflow which allows the user running the server to escalate privileges to...herself. Oh, well, there are situations in which it's serious, I guess, and anyway it's bad practice
