HTTPi/0.4 is an extensible, miniaturized HTTP/0.9, /1.0 and /1.1-compliant
webserver written 100% in Perl and running in under 6K 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, xinetd, or equivalent -- 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

Fixed in this version:

	* CERN date format bug
	* logging format bug

Added to this version:

	* restriction matrix IP/useragent-based security
	* multiple logging formats
	* support for xinetd
	* smart(er) configure script suite

See HTTPi in action, get documentation and download the current version and
past releases from

The current version will be uploaded to CPAN shortly.
