Thttpd is a small, fast secure webserver. it features cgi support, url-traffic-based throttling and basic authentication. thttpd has a very small memory footprint as it only forks itself in order to execute cgi scripts. it is designed to be as fast as fully featured web-servers and it performs extremely well under high load.

this package contains the thttpd server. for thttpd support programs see the thttpd-util package.
