How to build darkhttpd
----------------------
Simply run make:
$ make
How to run darkhttpd
--------------------
Serve /var/www/htdocs on the default port (80 if running as root, else 8080):
$ ./darkhttpd /var/www/htdocs
Serve ~/public_html on port 8081:
$ ./darkhttpd ~/public_html --port 8081
Only bind to one IP address (useful on multi-homed systems):
$ ./darkhttpd ~/public_html --addr 192.168.0.1
Serve at most 4 simultaneous connections:
$ ./darkhttpd ~/public_html --maxconn 4
Log accesses to a file:
$ ./darkhttpd ~/public_html --log access.log
Chroot for extra security (you need root privs for chroot):
$ ./darkhttpd /var/www/htdocs --chroot
Use default.htm instead of index.html:
$ ./darkhttpd /var/www/htdocs --index default.htm
Add mimetypes - in this case, serve .dat files as text/plain:
$ cat extramime
text/plain dat
$ ./darkhttpd /var/www/htdocs --mimetypes extramime
Drop privileges:
$ ./darkhttpd /var/www/htdocs --uid www --gid www
Use acceptfilter (FreeBSD only):
$ kldload accf_http
$ ./darkhttpd /var/www/htdocs --accf
Run in the background and create a pidfile:
$ ./darkhttpd /var/www/htdocs --pidfile /var/run/httpd.pid --daemon
Web forward (301) requests for some hosts:
$ ./darkhttpd /var/www/htdocs --forward example.com http://www.example.com \
--forward secure.example.com https://www.example.com/secure
Web forward (301) requests for all hosts:
$ ./darkhttpd /var/www/htdocs --forward example.com http://www.example.com \
--forward-all http://catchall.example.com
Commandline options can be combined:
$ ./darkhttpd ~/public_html --port 8080 --addr 127.0.0.1
To see a full list of commandline options,
run darkhttpd without any arguments:
$ ./darkhttpd
