"SHTTPD": Windows web-server, light-weight, stand-alone and multi-platform (Unix, etc)

[Anothony Georgeo <anogeorgeo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I was reading
<http://tor.eff.org/docs/tor-hidden-service.html.en> 
and I thought I could help with the the following 
question:

---
If you're on Windows, ...what should we suggest here? 
Is there a good simple free software (not just 
"freeware") web server for Windows? Please let me know

what we should say here.

IMO "Shttpd" ("Simple HTTPD") is a worthy candidate as

a Windows web-server for use with HiddenServices.  
<http://shttpd.sourceforge.net/>

Shttpd is a very nice, secure(SSL), free & open-source
(MIT license), light-weight and stand-alone web-server

which is multi-platform (Win32, Unix, Linux, *BSD, 
MacOS, QNX, Solaris).  

Shttpd has a great and easy to use GUI and the code
for
Shttpd was security reviewed by Adam Zeldis.


Quotes from the site:

---
Overview:
SHTTPD is a lightweight web server. The main design 
goals are the ease of use and the ability to embed. 
Ideal for personal use, web-based software demos (like

PHP, Perl etc), quick file sharing. A care has been 
taken to make the code secure. SHTTPD is licensed
under
the terms of MIT license.

Features:
* Small. Fast. No bloat, no installation. 
* GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, DELETE methods
* CGI, SSL, digest auth, resumed download, aliases
* Standard logging (combined format)
* Very simple and clean embedded API
* dietlibc friendly. NOT that friendly to the uClibc
