HTTPi/0.1 is an extensible, miniaturized HTTP/0.9, /1.0 and /1.1-compliant
webserver written 100% in Perl and running in under 5K with no additional
modules (doesn't require Socket.pm, Net.pm, LWP, or any networking support
other than what it has built-in). In fact, all you need is the Perl 5
executable and inetd -- nothing else is required.

HTTPi is intended for systems with a need for a small, low-impact server
(it runs through inetd and doesn't spawn daemons), or for people who want
to roll their own web-applications from a bare bone algorithm. With its
small size, invocation time is minimal and execution time is extremely fast.

Supports:

	* executable applications (similar to nph-cgi)
	* HTTP/1.1 persistent connections
	* CERN logging

A configure/install script is included which automates changes to inetd and
builds custom versions.
