Das Schaefchen
Das Schaefchen is a lightweight HTTP server and proxy for Unix platforms. It supports the minimum requirements of the HTTP/1.1 protocol and virtual hosts, basic authentication (which can be used to protect either files or directories), directory listing, byte ranges, reverse proxy, and FastCGI. It is an event-driven server that runs as a single process with a single thread using non-blocking I/O. It uses epoll as the event notification mechanism to multiplex control between active connections.
