About:
thttpd is a simple, small, fast and secure HTTP server. It doesn't have a lot of special features but it suffices for most uses of the Web. It's faster than Apache and it has one extremely useful feature that no other server currently has - URL-traffic-based throttling.

Release focus: Minor bugfixes

Changes:
Fix for lingering-close problem. Server should no longer hang.
