Initial Content

New page

thttpd is a simple, portable, and minimalistic HTTP server. More information from their home page at: http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/

== Compiling ==
thttpd can be compiled with plain build utilities. On Alpine Linux, run the following:
{{Highlight
| code = # apk add gcc musl-dev make

## Get thttpd and compile
# wget http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/thttpd-2.29.tar.gz
# tar -xzvf thttpd-2.29.tar.gz
# cd thttpd-2.29

## Compile
# ./configure
# make CCOPT='-O2 -s -static' thttpd
# cd cgi-src
# make CCOPT='-O2 -s -static' all
| lang = terminal
}}
Because the binary is compiled and linked statically, you can run thttpd within an empty container.

== Usage ==
{| class="wikitable"
!Description
!Command
|-
|Start thttpd on port 8080 serving /www
|<code>thttpd -h 0.0.0.0 -p 8080 -d /www</code>
|-
|Allow CGI anywhere
|<code>thttpd -h 0.0.0.0 -p 8080 -d /www -c **</code>
|-
|Log to stdout
|<code>thttpd -h 0.0.0.0 -p 8080 -d /www -l -</code>
|-
|Start thttpd using a configuration file
|<code>thttpd -C thttpd.conf</code>
|}

== Redirection ==
Redirections are handled by a separate CGI program. Included in the source tree is <code>cgi-src/redirect.c</code> which reads a <code>.redirects</code> file for the appropriate destinations.

To get this working:

# Compile <code>cgi-src/redirect.c</code>.
# Move redirect to your web root. Call it <code>redirect.cgi</code>.
# Symlink your source (for example, <code>index.html</code> if you want to redirect the root location) to <code>redirect.cgi</code>
# Add <code>/ <nowiki>http://somewhere.example.com/</nowiki></code> into <code>.redirects</code>.
