Secure Mini-Apache for Embedded Linux

Posted by michael on from the apache-on-the-atkins-diet dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Embedded webserver specialist Mbedthis Software has released AppWeb, a new "mini-Apache" for embedded Linux focusing on high security and designed for 'embedding in applications and devices.' AppWeb can be configured with a memory footprint of only 110K, and targets web services, offline applications, and embedded device management, according to Mbedthis."

    If you need a really small httpd, you might want to consider one of the options from ACME Labs Software. I've used mini_httpd and found it to work quite well. It can be compiled with SSL support, if you need that. Disk image is about 42k dynamicly linked, so if FLASH space is important, you might consider it. Its RSS is more like about 670k as configured on my system, but IIRC, that's with SSL support.

    If you need to get really small, and don't need much by way of features, micro_httpd, but that's probably overkill (underkill?)
