+ thttpd - tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
+
+thttpd is a simple, small, portable, fast, and secure HTTP server.
+
+Simple: It handles only the minimum necessary to implement HTTP/1.1.
+
+Small: See the size comparison chart at
+http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/notes.html#sizes. It also has a
+very small run-time size, since it does not fork and is very careful about
+memory allocation.
+
+Portable: It compiles cleanly on SunOS 4.1.x, Solaris 2.x, BSD/OS 2.x,
+Linux 1.2.x, and OSF/1 (on a 64-bit Alpha).
+
+Fast: In typical use it's about as fast as the best full-featured servers
+(Apache, NCSA, Netscape). Under extreme load it's much faster.
+
+Secure: It goes to great lengths to protect the web server machine
+against attacks and breakins from other sites.
+
+It also has one extremely useful feature (URL-traffic-based throttling) that
+no other server currently has.
