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. + +WWW: http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/ |
