Secure Mini-Apache for Embedded Linux
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."

Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
Don't forget to pay your $795 fee, you teabaggers. And make sure a separate check for $35 goes to SCO Group Embedded Licensing Dept.
Doesn't free software rock?!
From the article,
along withSo, while it's cool, it's not a port of Apache to an embeded environment.
Overrated / Underrated : Moderation
On behalf of several members of the community, I would like to express my shock and disappointment at some of Mr. Darl McBride's fibs. I realize that some of you may not know the particular background details of the events I'm referring to. I'm not going to go into those details here, but you can read up on them elsewhere. This is not to say that writing instructors seeking to introduce the concept of "larrikinism" into their curricula could hardly do better than to use his screeds as an example. It is merely to point out that his opuscula have kept us separated for too long from the love, contributions, and challenges of our brothers and sisters in this wonderful adventure we share together -- life! Worst of all, our children's children would never forgive us for letting him turn boeotians loose against us good citizens. I undoubtedly dislike Mr. McBride. Likes or dislikes, however, are irrelevant to observed facts, such as that Mr. McBride says that his blessing is the equivalent of a papal imprimatur. That's his unvarying story, and it's a lie: an extremely despicable and violent lie. Unfortunately, it's a lie that is accepted unquestioningly, uncritically, by Mr. McBride's bootlickers.
I don't believe that mediocrity and normalcy are ideal virtues. So when Mr. McBride says that that's what I believe, I see how little he understands my position. Looking at it another way, he will engender ill will because he possesses a hatred that defies all logic and understanding, that cannot be quantified or reasoned away, and that savagely possesses stubborn, inimical mafia dons with snivelling and uncontrollable rage. My message is clear: Mr. McBride doesn't want us to know about his plans to use psychological tools to trick us into doing whatever infernal, libidinous clods require of us. Otherwise, we might do something about that.
Even if moonstruck profiteers join his band with the best of intentions, they will still set up dissident groups and individuals for conspiracy charges and then carry out searches and seizures on flimsy pretexts faster than you can say "unproportionableness". Not all, I hasten to add, do join with the best of intentions. Many people respond to his self-centered viewpoints in much the same way that they respond to television dramas. They watch them; they talk about them; but they feel no overwhelming compulsion to do anything about them. That's why I insist we focus on what unites rather than divides us. In closing, all that I ask is that you join me to stop Mr. Darl McBride and reinforce what is best in people.
It sounds like it isn't missing any of the basic features your average webserver needs.
And if that is the case why on earth wouldn't you be using for your typical small deployments whether embedded or not?
Does it support ProxyPassReverse? Had a look in their docs and can't find a reference. Anybody knows?

Be forewarned: In this letter, I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice. Before examining the present situation, however, it is important that I call for proper disciplinary action against Linux zealots and its lickspittles. Viewing all this from a higher vantage point, we can see that Linux zealots's assistants are unified under a common goal. That goal is to seize control over where we eat, sleep, socialize, and associate with others. I, not being one of the many avaricious moochers of this world, am ashamed to admit that I live on the same planet as Linux zealots. But what, you may ask, does any of that have to do with the theme of this letter, viz., that it is a wee bit overzealous in its defense of obscurantism? First, I'll give you a very brief answer, and then I'll go back and explain my answer in detail. As for the brief answer, whenever anyone states the obvious -- that it is an expert at shameless name-dropping -- discussion naturally progresses towards the question, "Why does it insist on boring holes in the hull of the boat in which it is also a passenger?" I mean, it should focus more on the quality of its writing than on the amount of drivel it can squeeze in. Don't make the mistake of thinking otherwise. Linux zealots does, and that's why it would be hard to find anyone who doesn't agree that it is naive to think that it wouldn't create a world sunk in the most abject superstition, fanaticism, and ignorance if it got the chance. I challenge it to move from its broad derogatory generalizations to specific instances to prove otherwise.
This is no laughing matter. That sounds really incorrigible, but I certainly maintain that it's an accurate assessment of the situation. My point may be made clearer by use of an allegorical tale. Suppose a hypothetical group of three people is standing in a room. One of those people realizes that it is probably safe to assume that the trouble with such disaffected airheads is that they intend to convert our children to cultural zombies in a mass of unthinking and easily herded proletarian cattle. Another goes on and on about Linux zealots's crazy cock-and-bull stories. But the third can't understand why Linux zealots is allergic to any idea that isn't disrespectful. In this hypothetical situation, it should be obvious that Linux zealots spouts the same bile in everything it writes, making only slight modifications to suit the issue at hand. The issue it's excited about this week is pessimism, which says to me that you don't have to say anything specifically about it for it to start attacking you. All you have to do is dare to imply that I should hold out the prospect of societal peace, prosperity, and a return to sane values and certainties.
Linux zealots wants to perpetuate inaccurate and dangerous beliefs about male-female relationships. Is this so it can resort to ad hominem attacks on me and my family, or is it to make bribery legal and part of business as usual? You be the judge. In either case, its proxies can't defend their writings. If you don't believe me, see for yourself. I am shocked and angered by Linux zealots's hypocritical improprieties. Such shameful conduct should never be repeated. Every morning Linux zealots asks itself, "How can we fool the masses today?", and I'm not making that up! One last thing: Linux zealots is apt to respond to this letter in the same emotional way that a devout Christian in the 15th century might have responded to someone who announced publicly that he didn't believe in the virgin birth.
If you need to get really small, and don't need much by way of features, micro_httpd, but that's probably overkill (underkill?)
Faster porn then?

Check out boa:
Boa currently seems to be the favorite web server in the embedded crowd, and embedded Linux, despite all the marketing hype, really is a big deal. Supposedly, an older version of Boa, v0.92q, runs in 32K address space on m68k, like used in uCLinux
