description:
webfs (a.k.a. webfsd) is a simple HTTP server for purely static
content. You can use it to serve the contents of an FTP server via
HTTP, for example. It can also be used to quickly export some files by
starting an httpd server in a few seconds, without editing config files
first. webfs has been tested with Linux and FreeBSD. It uses
sendfile(), therefore you'll need a 2.2.x kernel and a fairly recent C
library (glibc 2.1) to use it with Linux. The compiled and stripped
binary is less then 32Kb, making it great for floppy distros and
recycled hardware.
Changes:
This version includes support for IPv6, chroot-to-docroot, basic auth,
and virtual hosts. It now includes a userspace sendfile() emulation, so
it may work on platforms that lack sendfile().
