Phttpd - a multithreaded web server
Phttpd is a free multithreaded, lightweight & fast
World Wide Web
server written by
Peter Eriksson
of the free software company
Signum Support AB
in
Sweden.
It is currently only available for computers running the SunOS 5.4
(Solaris 2.4) operating system (or later versions) from
Sun, but work is underway to
port it to Unixes using Posix Threads.
Features:
Phttpd uses features like multithreading, dynamic linking and
memory mapping to achieve quick response time, extensibility
and high transfer rates, without consuming huge system resources.
Conditions:
It is NOT public domain software, but is available under the
GNU GPL v2
(GNU General Public License, version 2) license. Ie: you may
not sell binary copies of the software without also distributing
the source code to it. See the license for more information.
Availability:
You can always get a copy of the source code by anonymous FTP from:
ftp.signum.se:/pub/phttpd
Or from one of the mirror sites:
ftp.lysator.liu.se:/pub/phttpd
ftp.netuse.de:/pub/phttpd
or you can buy a precompiled and supported version from
Signum Support AB.
Support:
As Phttpd is free software it is made available without any warranty
or support. However, if you need professional, commercial support (and
are willing to pay for it), don't hesitate to contact
Signum Support AB.
