[...], who in their right mind /doesn't/ use
Apache along with
stuff such as mod_rewrite these days?
Perhaps I'm just not in my right mind,
then - I use bozohttpd.
How does bozohttpd, in your opinion, compare with thttpd?
I don't really know enough about either one to say anything very
authoritiative; see below. My impression - and, as I say, it may well
be poorly founded - is that thttpd is a bit less feature-poor, which
can be a plus or can be a minus. For me, every feature I don't need is
a minus, and bozohttpd is already capable of significantly more than I
want - when building it I use -DNO_CGIBIN_SUPPORT -DNO_DYNAMIC_CONTENT
-DNO_SSL_SUPPORT -DNO_USER_SUPPORT, and would turn off vhosting and
all dot-file interpretation if there were a similar defines for them.
One thing I notice immediately is that thttpd has drunk the ./configure
koolaid, which loses it substantial points with me (see my blah post
http://ftp.rodents-montreal.org/mouse/blah/2009-11-20-1.html for more
on my opinions on the subject) and certainly makes it significantly
more of a pain for me to use.
Beyond that...my knowledge of bozohttpd is old enough I should probably
be considered to be unfamiliar with its feature set, and my knowledge
of thttpd borders on nonexistent (I only barely recognized the name
when you asked about it, and have spent only a few minutes looking).
So I'm not really competent to comment, as I said above.
